Re: Fw: Yuck Rockwool

["rb_ziggy" <rb.lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Horrible stuff rockwool or fibreglass wool but look for "Barrier
Cream" (and one suitable for fibreglass).  Magic Stuff.

But I still wear disposable paper suit (e.g. tyvek) and a respirator
if working close up in lofts.  Especially if its old and has started
to degrade.

Having done far too much when we built the house, I paid someone else
to redo my mother's!  I rate that expense as extremely good value.
