Downriver Tackle Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 You need an N95 prefilter and an organic vapor cartridge. Change the vapor cartridge when you can smell the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bester Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 What do you guys use for wood dust? I'd like to have one repirator that I can us for turning lures and maybe change cartridges for painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Use a good dust mask for sawdust and sanding dust, and a respirator for solvents and fumes and painting/finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 You can buy an appropriate respirator at most auto part stores. I bought my last one at Wal-Mart near the paint section. Make sure you store the mask in an air-tight container when you aren't using it because they continue to filter even if they aren't being worn. I use a coffee can to store mine or a large zip-loc bag. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Make sure you store the mask in an air-tight container when you aren't using it because they continue to filter even if they aren't being worn. Jed, I never thought about that before, it makes sense. Thanks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
