Crap in my eyes

[basswipe]

Lately its been sanding dust.Very fine dust as that,it just gets into everything.Swim goggles fog up instantly.Ski goggles I haven't thought of Nebe,but do you think they would fit while having a respirator on?A full face respirator would be ideal but most of these have cheap plastic face shields and really good ones are expensive.

I've been wrestling with this for more years than I care to count.I just hate these freakin restoration jobs.

The truly ideal solution is to junk all the old wood and use brandnew wood duplicated to the original profile.My face(especially my eyes) would really appreciate that!

all i can tell ya is... with sawdust in particular...

is that eventually your eyeball gets scratched
and then your eye lid keeps rubbing that scratch
irritating it further....and further

theres a gel call lactilube (prescription)
...basically a type of
neo-sporin specifically for the eye that you
can use to lubricate (grease) your eyeball so the lid
wont keep on irritating it and has a chance to heal.

you won't be able to see out of that eye period
and you might as well wear an eye patch while
your trying to get relief for awhile in the worst case
scenario.

after many years in construction and finish work
i won't saw those two more boards ...or any other task
until after i wash out the sawdust.... first

otherwise you'll form a sty ....a pimple inside your eyelid
and thats maximum on the irritation scale.
