Steve, your comment made me smile, remembering years ago my wife saying, "Itch my back for me!", and the following discussion, about "...itching a scratch", or "...scratching an itch"! Regardless, handling the glass cloth doesn't bother me much, but when I took the 40 grit disk to the hood I looked like a ghost with fiberglass dust head to toe. Yes, I was wearing a good mask, rated for dust, but probably should have had a respirator!! Even with a long sleeved shirt my arms & back & face itched for hours!!

On a side note, I tossed my old faithful Nikon CoolPix in the trash after posting the pictures of the glassing process.

It took a bath on our Costa Rica trip last Fall, and had never really been the same even after a hair dryer session . Plus I had a new Sony CyberShot point & shoot that I had never opened so it's my new "pocket camera". The last four shots of the hood off the body and the NIKON trashed are with the new SONY.
