Re: What the hell happened?
My .02,
Air purifying resperators (APR) only filter contaminates out of the air. You should be able to smell, taste, or feel eye iritation (warning property) at a very low exposure to the chemical that is not dangerous to your health to use one. This is how you know that your filter has breakthrough and should be replaced.(prior to being exposed to high dosage that could be harmful)
Most filters are to be used for one shift of work and then disposed of. Is it worth the few dollars you save to reuse them?
A garage without proper ventilation becomes a confined space once you start spraying. There is no longer enough oxygen in the air to filter it, even if you are wearing proper mask and filters.
This is where suplied air comes into use. Proper ventilation is very important because you can also create a fire hazard by trapping fumes.
You are the only one who can protect yourself. Make good decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
Good thread bringing saftey awareness to others.
Play safe guys
