Maybe if one can build up a tolerance of such things I did when I was
shoved into small lockers and under-deck spaces fiber glassing over
wooden pads for cleats and the like on Dads various boats when I was a
kid. ;-)


I thought the main danger was inhaling the glass fibres/dust?

I think you are right (medically) typically re insulation materials
and if sanding or grinding (fiber)glass reinforced resin, but I'm
also aware that some can quickly come up in a rash or itch if they
simply come in contact with it (I don't).

I don't get a rash, but am very aware of if I have come into contact
with it - it leaves an odd prickly sensation to the skin.

That's precisely what I get. It diminishes over a day or so. I must admit
that my main concern is what it may be doing to my lungs.
