Diving into a whole set of chemicals and stuff I don't know anything about and wanted to know what you guys think of for a good respirator?
Ideally I will wear this thing pretty much non stop from Glue fumes to sanding to painting and during clean up.
Safety is the main concern here, as well as adaptability, if it only works for 'wood dust' it's not going to be safe for 'tiny fiberglass dust particles'.
If it comes down to it I'll just buy a 10 nanometers filtration Gas Mask suitable for Nuclear Fallout Protection and be done with it. Lol. (but I don't wanna sped $300+ unless I "have" to)
Ideally the mask should have multiple cartridges/filters for the wide array of things I plan to do, and be affordable to replace. I don't mind half-mask or Full mask, full masks look cooler, but hey, almost no one is going to see it (and safety goggles are cheap)
I would love something like this http://www.gemplers.com/product/670...c=25SEPLA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=6700&ctype=2
However price is a bit much, although apparently safety is fantastic. But I wouldn't know where to start on which cartridges I need...
anyone with experience should help fill me in here, which cartridge(s) would I need for:
Fiberglass Resin Pourin/Fumes
Fiberglass Sanding
Paint Fumes/etc
Bondo Sanding
Smooth-On Smooth Cast 320/sanding
Various Glues (super, epoxy, plastic resin glue) + sanding
Some of those may not actually require a filter for use - but just listing to make sure. Mostly concerned with Paints and the fumes from Epoxy/resins/plastics. I figure sanding particles should pretty much all be the same size (roughly) so a good filter will knock all of them out. (unless they are 10 nanometer radioactive fallout debris or something, in which case this won't do,and I need more protection anyway)
