Other Respiratory protection help

[Vumad]

Remember that you transfer the stuff everywhere on your clothing and shoes. In a perfect world such things would include disposable coveralls. I brush myself off and then pre-wash my clothes outside before putting them in the washer on the big jobs. Try not to go in and out of the house and don't track it in on your shoes days later. Wear a mask when sweeping the floor.

I use a respirator like the ones above anytime I'm using power tools and anytime I handle poly resin. I make sure the family is not home anytime I work with poly because you can smell the poly in the house even though I'm working on an open air carport. I will use drywall masks for very light sanding, like prepping to close up a bilge outlet or something.

If you want to know more about the respiratory hazards, look up silicosis.

Also remember there are other hazards, such as corneal abrasions and etc. Resin in the eye can cause blindness.

I'm looking at full face masks for carbon/glass grinding and layup and painting. Can any experts out there tell me which one I should buy? I've found two that I think will work well (see below), any other suggestions? Thanks.

Neither. First one us particulate only and second one is organic vapor. You need both for your intentions. Look for a combo cartridge respirator

What if he used a particulate filter on one intake and an organic vapor filter on the other?

Full face respirator:

Combo organic vapor & particulate cartridge:

If you aren't using chemicals (like when sanding), these are just fine:

I use a north 770 half mask with HEPA cartridges for just about anything when working in dusty conditions - sanding, mowing, weed eating, etc.

I have used the combo vapor cartridges as well when painting etc.

Thank you gentleman.

Are the North Safety masks a preferred brand? Earlier in the thread I only saw 3M talked about. Thinking from an ease of access to replacement parts and such.
