Fiberglass, even when it is a dust, can still be harmful for you respiratory track, as it can still cause micro cuts in your organs, and of course inhaling ANYTHING can cause health issues (that can lead to cancer and other serious respiratory health issues), if your are inhaling this dust, you need to check out:

www.toolboxtopics.com/Gen%20Industry/Is%20Fiberglass%20a%20Health%20Hazard.htm

It's just not good for you. So be safe!!

Thanks, I'm about to glass a small row boat that I'm building and I just wanted to see how bad the stuff was. I guess Ill keep the respirator on and vacuum up thoroughly.
