Does rockwool even lose fine fibers?? probably, but i have never seen any talk specifically about this....something/anything showing proof that it does?...It just seems like people have their mind made up that this material will be spewing out fibers left and right...maybe its a misconception....

The only thing i have seen mentioned a few times is that some people believe LF will shake them loose...or if its disturbed

But really...for the fibers to be shaken loose, then to make it through the fabric....then be enough to cause you problems?

I dunno man...i cant seem to make up my mind about this subject....its probably more in the mind..paranoia

I had a close look today at an extra rockwool panel i had sitting in the garage..and that stuff looks like its well bonded....

I believe Ethan uses owens corning 703....dont know that for a fact though...
