> What is an organic respirator, and will a painter's face mask do the job?

A respirator is something that filters the air you breath. An organic one absorbs organic chemicals. There are disposable organic masks like painters masks, but better is a rubber face mask with interchangable cartridge filters. Most epoxy suppliers have the proper thing or can tell you where to get them.

As long as your bear is not bare, he can help too :-)
