Default Really Nasty Fillers

If the filler was made before about 1978 good chance, If it was made somewhere other than the U.S.A. good chance. Either way it contains fiberglass resins. I worked around and in the resins at Douglas and the McDonnell Douglas Aircraft for eleven years. THey kept telling us is was harmless and maybe it is. Coal dust won't make your skin itch but resins will. I would work it outdoors (the sanding) in the shade to keep the shop clean. Wear a really good mask. When finished you want to take a shower with the water at room temp. Not hot or cold but room temp and rinse it all off real good before using any soap. A liquid soap or shampoo works best. I used to take a 20 min rinse when I got home each day. Then don't go under a "black light" for several days. You will look like twinkle dust. Fred26t
