I've sanding a few Cozy/Long-EZ airplanes and I never had any problem with

Just a heavy long-sleeved shirt and a regular dust mask will do OK for me.

From what I know of fiberglass work your not supposed to sand into the
fibers. Just till you BARELY expose the surface of the fiber. So If your
pulling enough fiber off to stick into yourself and cause a rash you are
way overdoing it.
Anyone else to comment, maybe I'm wrong but I think I'm close!
