Anyone have good methods for removing fumes and dust from your garage?
I feel like my garage and my house always smells like it after I am done working with it. Even if I wash my hands after wearing gloves and changing clothes.

Don't do it in your house anymore? Or try using a fan when glassing.

I wasn't doing it in my house I do it in my garage, but the smell seems to follow me.
Even if doing a small piece to bring it in and trim, like 6x4 inch square piece. The smell lingers forever.

Sorry, hard to pick up on sarcasm over the internet, I know you weren't doing it in the house. Use a fan or do the glassing and drying outside.

Ah, the power of communication and the internet... and still we get choked up at each other because of simple things we cannot express such as inflection. It's all so funny. BTW: I'd rather smell like f/g than be coughing my lungs out over MDF dust... whew that stuff is mean!
