Yep thats right, razor knife to cut wear gloves and long sleeves.
also dont scratch yourself it only makes it worse. and when bathing use cold water not hot or warm. the cold water closes your pores so that the fiberglass will not get into them and continue to itch. if you use warm water or hot water you are going to be in trouble big time. and be not only itching like crazy but feel like your on fire.
Fiberglass is exactly what its name is fibers of material with little peices of glass attached to them. so when fiberglass gets on you if you rub you are only cutting into your skin with each stroke.
roll it out between the wall studs and using a staple gun staple it in place do each area that way
When good gal said "paper side out" she meant out towards the living area. Not out to the outside of the building.
