Been doing a project with HDU. It involves making a lot of cuts and making moldings. What do you do to clean up after that stuff? Those tiny particles seem to take an almost magnetic charge and stick to everything. Cleaning them off my clothing and shoes to not bring them home with me seems almost impossible. Does it last forever and continue to re appear?

Been reading in Genesis about the plagues. I believe HDU dust was number 13? Took water-soap wash to remove. Whole Egyptian calvalry unit lost in cleaning efforts.

I guy came in to have his truck lettered yesterday. He came from far away and didn't have anyone to pick him up or anywhere to go. He asked if there was anything he could do for us while he waited. Guess what? I gave him a mask and the shop vac. He spent several hours cleaning my wood shop. Did a much better job than I could do.All I need now is a trip to the dump with all the scraps.I hope I can remember to empty the shop vac into a bag and take it as well.

I just blasted it off my clothes with air from my compressor. Of course most of my HDU work was on my CNC so between the shop vac and the dust collector I didn't get as much as when I sandblasted the stuff. My old shop must have a few thousand pounds of HDU dust mixed in with the sand along side my parking lot.
