Pepakura Fiberglass and Smoothing Tutorial

your right dude, better safe than sorry

i dont know the answer to that

Yes, the matte can leave slivers that make you itch, the cloth too I believe, although it is a much larger problem with the matte. If your just cutting it and not using any resin, I think your safe without gloves as it's going to get on your clothes and skin anyway. You still need the respirator though because it gets in the air quick.

Use a respirator and latex gloves at least.

Thanks so much guys. I was going to play it safe and wear gloves in case nobody knew the answer, but I didn't think about loose strands in the air. There was no warning on the package and nobody talks about precautions that should be taken with the cloth itself, so I didn't know what to think. Now I do, and I'm glad I asked.

Thanks again!

You should also make sure to wear eye protection.

Would it help if you applied resin first or would that be the equivalent of fiberglassing it? Nice tut. though. :clap:

Well applying resin first is the first step ;-)

The real fiberglassing is after when you cover the fiberglass cloth in resin.
