Heard a crazy number about drywall dust at a supply house in Cincinnati
I was picking up some 5/8 firecode sheets yesterday and the guy behind the counter said a single sheet can put over 2 pounds of fine dust into the air if you cut it dry. Found that wild because I never really weighed it, you know? He said he read it in some safety bulletin from a few years back. Makes you think about the masks we use, right? What's the best respirator you all have found for that kind of super fine dust?

Over 2 pounds of dust" from one sheet seems like a stretch to me.

My buddy learned the hard way, @quinn603, after his garage looked like a flour bomb went off from cutting one sheet.
