Re: What the hell happened?

I read through this thread and one thing to make clear is make sure you have the Volitile Organic Compound (VOC) type filters. Most, if not all, masks come with HEPA filters which only are rated for dusts only. Most VOC type filters have black labes (some have black and pink which are a HEPA VOC combo filter). If your filters are blue or pink they are most likey just HEPA only.

If you are working in an enclosed environment you must use a supplied air system. A mask even with VOC type filters will not provide you with enough breathable air when the enclosed area becomes saturated with the overspay vapors.
