What can you use to protect the skin from fiberglass?

My Fiance just got a job with fiberglass, and it keeps going into his skin. We already know the basics gloves, mask, boots, long sleeve shirt, hat...ect..., but I heard there is a cream or something you can apply to the skin to act as a barrier? Any suggestions to what that may be?What can you use to protect the skin from fiberglass?
dusting down with baby powder will help, don't be afraid to use a bunch.What can you use to protect the skin from fiberglass?
I deal with fiberglass a lot, don't know of any cream that will prevent getting it. What he should do is as soon as he gets home take a tepid shower not hot, cool is better. Hot make the fiber flex and they will work in to his skin. So start with a cool shower then switch to hot.





i wish there was something you could just apply to your skin.
I'd recommend Tyvek disposable clothing, it will block the fiberglass better than street clothes. Taping the seams to boots and gloves helps too. You can find them in 2 piece suits or jumpsuits...we used to buy them by the box, any safety equipment dealer will have them in stock.





There is a lotion you can use to help form a barrier on the skin, but its used more by painters, or mechanics, than folks working with fiberglass. Here is a link to one such product - http://liquidglove.com/





Rinsing off with cold water will help a great deal -- it'll remove the bulk of the fibers, and close the skin pores. Use hot water, and the pores open up, allowing for more irritation.





Good Luck
