Non-Coronavirus Health and Safety Question about Insulation

During my time sequestered at home, I am finally building the audio-isolation booth for voice-over work that I have been planning and designing for over a year. The construction is a pretty basic framing job (with a few tweaks and flourishes to optimize for soundproofing), and part of the construction involves installing fire- and sound-retardant insulation in the wall cavities between the studs. And therein lies my question:
The fibers of this stuff are nasty, and tend to get airborne while working with the material. Of course I will be wearing long sleeves and gloves and eye protection, and laundering the clothes separately. But I should also be wearing a face mask, and I have none. And even if I did, given the current state of the world I wouldn't want to take away supplies from where they are seriously needed.
So: will wearing a bandana or rag around my face to cover my mouth and nose be sufficient to keep me safe for a small job? Or do I absolutely need to source out a face mask or respirator while working on this? Or do you have any other suggestions? |
