When I was building my '27 I came home one day, got down to shorts only, and started grinding away at the fiberglass on the body. It was 90 degrees, and the dust stuck to the sweat, so even after taking a shower it was itch time. That night I had to sleep with my arms straight out and no sheet or blanket over me. That's why I don't like to do it anymore, and do everything possible to keep it from happening.

I had an old time shrimper, who did fiberglass work all the time, tell me the secret was to get into the hottest shower you could and use a scrub brush in one direction only to sweep away the fibers out of your pores. I have also heard putting baby oil on and showering works, and I think I have had the best luck with that.
