I'm with Fred. Sweat and sawdust just don't mix for me. My shop gets a little rest in the summer. I can't wait for fall.

Keep a rag in the back pocket, use as needed. Keep the fan blowing. On the plus side, "You can't come in the house sweatng like that!" is always nice to hear.

I keep some old towels that my wife was ready to throw out as rags and there are a couple I keep out just for my use (no solvents or wiping dust with them). When they smell worse than I do I wash them.
Hopefully, this problem is about to go away, though ("cool" gloat coming in the next few days, I think)...

I use a rag and a fan until my my shop's central AC has cooled it down enough and removed some of the humidity. Here in NC the humidity is as bad as the heat!

Remember guys, as LOML always reminds me, ladies don't sweat, they "glow."

Coupla fans strategically focused & come to the house until I can stand it is my strategy. Also, a fridge with water & gatorade stocked up.
BTW, men sweat, women glisten.
