Do You Guys Wear Masks?

Feeling better Flash? I remember you were under the weather for a bit.

I am glad you brought this thread up Alex. I just ordered a mask like two weeks ago because I had a bad overspray of wheel acid from some random wind. I have a respirator with replaceable filters and I wear my Oakley sunglasses but I wanted more face protection.

I decided to get a new respirator with a built in face shield like this.

3M™ Full Facepiece Respirator


People might think I look funny but I really don't want any long term effects in the long run. Again I got this because I deal with wheels acids. They also come in handy with stinky cars! :xyxthumbs:

I urge everyone to read this article from Autopia it shows all of the dangers with the tools and chemicals we use. I learned about some in my chemistry class as well since our class final was to find a product that we use and test out the compositions. That aluminum oxide can be dangerous.

Damn Ro...this article scared the chit out of me. LOL! I'm definitely getting my stuff this weekend.
 
I only wear mask when I'm working with harsh chemicals like wheel cleaners and when I APC+ the interior.

Sometimes I wear a mask while polishing if I can find one. :)

Yeah man stuff can get crazy. I am sure it is all from long term exposure too, but it is better to be safe than sorry. I use earplugs similar to the ones you posted. I used to plug in some music but then you end up competing for sound and end up cranking up the earphones, which is no bueno.

Lol Flash. I have been on a good streak from not getting sick (knock on wood) lately. I try too keep it healthy, but my Kryptonite (The ladies:D) always seem to pass the cold on to me.

LMAO!!! Yeah...I've been placed in a similar situation. But this involved a doctor, a really fine nurse that I was flirting with, and the doctor convincing me at 25 years old that I needed my prostate checked. That was the day I got my man card taken away from me.

I wear a mask when I'm doing certain things. But correction is not one of them.

I too considered the mask for dusting,but I don't think the PPM(parts per million) thats in the air is harmful,since I do not do corrections all the time. But when I do pet hair removal or something nasty,ie, fecal, vomit etc. I wear a mask. I always wear gloves on interior work!
