Fibreglass Chopped Stands 12mm
Description
12mm
Fibreglass Strand also known as Chopped Strand or Choppies, is used to reinforce resin, plaster, cement and Jesmonite casts. Ideal for smaller items where scrim and fibreglass mat is too bulky or awkward to use.
Can be mixed heavily with resin to produce a putty like consistency, which can be applied to awkward areas more easily.
Health & Safety & Disposal
- When handling powdered ceramic materials, you must wear an FFP3/P2 face mask and nitrile gloves to prevent inhalation and skin contact.
- Wear a wipeable apron, polyester overalls, or similar. Clean or wash frequently.
- Always clean your studio with a wet sponge rather than sweeping to stop dust from becoming airborne.
- When preparing glazes, add the dry material to water, not vice-versa, to minimise dust formation.
- Do not allow eating and drinking in the studio and thoroughly wash hands when leaving.
- Never eat, drink, or apply cosmetics in areas where clay or glazes are handled.
- Ensure emergency eye-washing facilities are available in the room.
- Review official guidelines regarding studio ventilation and chemical management routinely.
Fibreglass strands and chopped strand mats are non-hazardous, inert articles under UK and EU safety regulations. However, cutting or sanding generates dust and microscopic glass filaments that present mechanical hazards (skin, eye, and upper respiratory tract irritation). They are not considered respirable or carcinogenic.
Dispose of as normal industrial waste, in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.
