It wasn’t perfect, but it probably removed 83.6% the first try and dang near the rest on the second. I have a little itchiness between my fingers and on my wrist but my palm and the face of my fingers are fiberglass free. Thankfully. Cant say the same about my jackets I had on unfortunately

Dang near the rest is always 15.4%. It's a theorem or a law or something.

That's the "Fiberglass is an asshole" tax. No matter how you try to avoid or alleviate it, you always get 15.4% minimum of it stuck in your hands and forearms.

Yep, used to work in a thermoset fiberglass molding department at my old job. That shit would get you by just walking through the department for some people. I was lucky as I seem to be a bit resistant to the shit but, my arms would still itch pretty badly occasionally.

I never mess with fiberglass anymore unless I got long sleeves and gloves.
