Rigid Fiberglass Safety

[tgowdy]

Hi,

Although I've read the very thorough article related to fiberglass safety:

The Comparative Safety of Rockwool, Fiberglass, and Organic Fibers (a review)

I wouldn't mind hearing what people think related to covering up the backside ( i.e. not visible) of corner bass traps made with 705 rigid fiberglass. Is it unhealthy?

My intuition says yes. The guy who sold me the stuff says NO. He claims that because the fibers are long there's no dust and thus no constant airborn shards of glass.

Any thoughts?

He's right. It's absolutely safe unless you beat on it every day with a tennis racket or something.
