    Yes, the pink 3M filters are really good. Richard mentioned this, though I'll mention again. G-10 and carbon fiber produce dust you never want to be exposed to without a proper respirator. Not the cheap little dust masks, but a good respirator.

    I also where a long sleeve tee with a rubber band around the writs and exam gloves with these two materials, otherwise you get a couple of days of fiber glass arms.

    Both materials are also hard on equipment and wear out sanding belts and blades.

    I don't work with those two materials unless I have a good reason, such as a liner for a pair of scales where I have concern that they may break.
    Geezer, rolodave and RezDog like this.
