The personal protection side of a layup, bought once instead of three separate orders. A 3M paint spray respirator, a disposable coverall suit and nitrile gloves. If you are grinding old glass, spraying gelcoat, or working polyester in a closed garage, this is the minimum kit, not the optional upgrade.

Respirator. 3M Easi-Case paint spray respirator for overspray and solvent vapor during spraying and layup.
Coverall suit. Disposable full-body cover that keeps resin, dust and glass off skin and clothing.
Nitrile gloves. Chemical resistant and powder free for handling resin, hardener and solvents.
Built for composite work. Styrene, epoxy amines and glass dust are the three exposures this kit is aimed at.

Fit test the respirator before you rely on it and check the cartridge date. A respirator that does not seal on your face is not doing anything.

What safety gear do I need for fiberglass and resin work?

Wear nitrile gloves, eye protection, and a Tyvek or disposable coverall to keep resin and glass fibers off your skin and clothes. Use an organic-vapor respirator when working with polyester resin, gelcoat, MEKP, or solvents, and always keep the area ventilated. A simple dust mask is enough only for sanding cured glass, not for liquid resin or solvent fumes.

What gloves protect against epoxy and polyester resin?

Use disposable nitrile gloves, not latex or vinyl. Nitrile resists the styrene in polyester and the chemicals in epoxy far better, and it lowers the risk of the skin sensitivity that repeated epoxy contact can bring on. Change gloves as soon as resin gets on the outside, and do not wipe resin off with acetone while wearing them, which can carry it through to your skin.
