Thread Starter | Breathing Fiberglass Expelled From 703
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to "treat" a DIY bass trap made of OC 703 or 705 so that microscopic particles of fiberglass aren't inhaled? I did a search and couldn't find any information specifically on this. I've heard to spray a coat of hairspray on the top layer and I thought it was a good idea. Any other ideas? Thanks...

I sprayed the back side of my traps with a light coating of 3M Spray Adhesive, which is what I used to bond the fabric to the front side, seems to be working after three years of use.

Thanks Glen! While I'm at it, would there be any disadvantage in getting all 705 panels, or would it be better to get a combination of 705 & 703? |

When IM doing a big install and using/cutting a lot of 703 I have a box fan with 2 filters duct taped to the input side and keeps those from floating in the air...

One potential source of causing floating glass particles is if you have forced air heat, and there's a floor register in proximity to where you hang a trap. Cheap and fast to spray the uncovered portion of the panel with something, my 2cents!

For some reason, Glen's link didn't work when I clicked on it. For the rest of you all, I'll try it again: Insulation World - Thermal Insulation Products for Pipes, Equipment, Ducts - Asbestos and Lead Abatement Products for Industrial, Commercial and Residential Applications - Hopewell, Virginia |

| I think you mean that when you get to six inches thick, the difference between 703 and 705 is less than when they're only three inches thick. Which is true. But even at 6 inches thick 705 is a tiny bit better. At least it was in both of my tests. See the bottom four waterfall plots on this page: Rigid fiberglass density tests Whether FRK or plain, 705 makes the peaks just above the 92 Hz marker a little rounder and flatter. One of these days I hope to test this again using twice as much material to get more definitive data. --Ethan

To clarify what I said (thanks Ethan) 703 6" will out perform 4" 705 and cost less. Sorry about that. ![]() Glenn |
