Man this thread is depressing, but filled with lots of excellent info. Something only one other person brought up was a suit. Iso's will absorb through your skin so just having a fresh air mask is really not enough because you are still exposed. I have been painting for 15 years and have done a bunch of stupid things in my youth as well. I used to never where a mask when painting laquers or non catalized paints. Now I have a slight nervous twitch and I used to be steady as a rock. Lot of great information about respirators here but don't forget about the suits.
