Resin safety

[Aircav]

I do know of modellers who spray paint wearing just a dust mask.  Like Mossie says, almost pointless.  For that you want a respirator like Steve posted (although the facemask is overkill ).  Just make sure you've got the correct filter fitted in the cannister for filtering organic solvents.

I didn't have any dusk masks when I started sanding the resin at that time

And you look like Darth Vader as an added bonus!   I ought to get a full SAS style respirator just to wind the missus up, they really freak her out for some reason!

You can get the 3M ones, relatively cheaply. I'll have to get a box myself soon, I think.

Back in the 1980s I worked in a spray boothe for a furniture restoration company who rented out furniture to  TV & film companies.
The 'old boys' always used to drink a pint of milk before sanding or spraying. Something to do with lining the lungs.
The heavy duty mask or resperator is ideal, but can restrict vision. Those of you that like rubber or that sort of thing then it is a must.
I must admit that my timings for changing the canister increased as it was similar to the MK 10 as used by the R.A.F.
