Welcome to the itchy club. I would get grinding now when It's cool out, grinding in the heat sucks. Post pics as you go and we can answer any questions you have.

Thanks Hippe now heres a funny little story when I was little like 6 my dad had some insulation in the garage and 1 of are cats had kittens and I just had to see them well she had them hid up in a bunch of insulation and I climbed up in there to get one and that was the point in my life where I got my first taste of fiberglass insulation now that old stuff itched like nothing else I have ever incountered . Now it seems that most things dont make me itch that much anymore yeah the glass is alittle itchy but but for the most part if you want somthing the itch is just worth it I guess. Well be keeping you all posted .

I finally, after years of people telling me, tried the baby powder trick. Now I keep a bottle next to my work shirt. Just rub on my arms neck and face, put on the shirt, and start grinding. I use a fan when allowed. No more itching!!!
