: Correct. I figured minicell dust would get everywhere so I carved
: my minicell seat outside. I fastened it on top of a portable
: bench and carved away. Once in a while I would climb up on the
: bench and sit in the seat, feel the high spots, get down and
: grind some more. Repeat as necessary.
: I probably took a quarter cubic foot of foam out of the seat and
: got fifty cubic feet of foam dust. It was a lot easier to sweep
: the driveway than clean the entire shop.

: And wear a face mask. The dust is light and goes airborne. Static
: causes it to stick to everything, including you.

First one I did at work (on break - really) in their shop in the middle of the winter. After I got done it took like 2 hours of constant work with a wet vac to get rid of most of the dust. I'm still finding bits of dust and it's been like 8 years since I did it. Never going to do it inside my shop.
