Stained Glass Grinding Wheel
First, thanks so much for your reply to an earlier question. It prompted me to have my asthma & allergies re-evaluated. As a result my diagnoses changed, I am now on new medication (Singular), under treatment by a new doc and feeling so much better! Second, I had an additional question: I work with stained glass as a hobby and have recently begun to wear a half-face respirator during soldering so as not to make my asthma worse from fume inhalation. (I didn't do this during the first few years). My question is, should I also be wearing some sort of breathing protection when I grind the glass pieces? The glass grinder uses a shield directly over the grinding bit (about 10 x 12 inches), but I stand directly over it, with my face only about 12-18 inches from the shield. The glass is ground wet, and there is spray, and you can often see a fine, colored glass dust accumulating. Is the wet glass dust in the air harmful if breathed? Or is it unlikely to be breathed in? I know it is harmful to breath fiberglass particles, so I was wondering about this. Thanks in advance for your feedback. I do appreciate having this forum available.
