 |
|
| I'm installing a little extra insulation in my attic prior to the cool months this fall (WI). Does anyone have any tips to prevent itchy fiberglass insulation from getting on your clothes and skin? |

I use paint coveralls that you can buy in the paint department at any home improvement store. The coveralls are very thin, and are great for working in an attic that may be VERY warm in the summer. In fact, if I'm working in a hot attic I just wear a t-shirt and shorts under the coveralls. The coveralls are great because they have elastic bands around the ankles and wrists, and also have a hood to keep insulation fibers out.
In addition to the coveralls I would wear a dual-banded dust mask, or even a resporator, and gloves. |
