I may be a little bit twisted, but the fact is, I have always enjoyed working with fiberglass. the itch factor never really bothered me all that much, and I was always impressed at the results that you can achieve with it. And its one of those things where the more you work with it, the more you realize the potential of the stuff. I scored a whole box full of latex rubber medical gloves, and they certainly cut down on the mess you have to contend with when "wash-up" time comes. I like the smell of the resin. As long as you can get your peices outside for the initial "clean-up" grinding, then it doesn't even make that big a mess inside your garage.
