rub your arms and neck down heavy with baby powder before you start grinding, I don't know what it does, but it sure prevents itching from glass

When you work your pores open to allow your skin to sweat and cool your body. The glass fibers get into them and cause the itch. Baby powder fills your pores. It prevents the majority of the glass particles from getting caught in them, which in turn prevents you from itching.

(Long, long ago, I worked as an insulation installer and had that explained to me by a "veteran" installer. I quit that job after a month...)
