I had the craziest thing happen yesterday. We use fiberglass poles to stake our trees in the field. Most people don’t know this but trees grow by moving in the wind. The movement stimulates the roots to grow and more roots sends more energy to the top, which causes more growth. When we put bamboo stakes they would snap in the wind. When we put aluminum stakes, they bent in the wind and then stayed bent making the tree grow crooked. So we put steel stakes and the trees stayed still. Too still. When we finally bucked up and bought the expensive fiberglass stakes we saw a huge improvement in growth. A tree that took 3 years to harvest took 2.5 years. Well worth the price of the stakes.
Here’s the rub. Literally the rub. I was removing hundreds of stakes from trees yesterday that no longer needed stakes. The trees were nice and straight on their own. The coating evidently had worn on the stakes leaving fiberglass dust that got all over me and my clothing. My first instinct was thinking of my lungs. But the real issue was the little particles got in my skin. For the last 5 hours it feels like a million needles poking in my fingers, hands, arms, and chest. It doesn’t wash off and hurts like a bitch. From what I read it will take several days to work its off or out and do not get it in your eyes or you can really damage your cornea. I changed all my clothes immediately and washed up but still hurts. Eyes good so far (although as i type this they are hurting as I worry about them). When I told my brother after that I was removing stakes. He said “Make sure you wear gloves and glasses, otherwise you’ll be hurting for days” Great post advice on the posts.
Follow up: A sweaty run and another shower seems to have gotten rid of the dust…..and pain.

If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Please wear a mask too Shane, Fibreglass can do a lot of damage to your lungs, like your brother said Gloves and Glasses are a must also to keep you safe!
With Covid a mask is a given 🙂
Hi Shane, whenever I get fibreglass particles in my arms by coming into contact with my kayak, I tear off a strip of duct tape, smooth it along my arm and then peel it off fairly quickly. The glass particles will stick to the tape.
Pull off a fresh length of duct tape and continue over other affected parts, then put on aloe vera or other cream.
That’s a great tip. Thanks Fizz
Yeah, I learned the hard way not to bear hug the fiberglass top to my pool filter when removing.
I am going to remove the steel stakes off my three trees when I get home tonight!
As Fizz said, duct tape for fiberglass skin removal is the way to go. Most effective thing I’ve tried.
Stole your quote 🙂
