Anybody have recommendations on a supplied air mask ? I have trouble getting a good seal on a conventional mask due to my beard. I suspect that I have a lot of company in that respect because beards seem to go with kayaks and boat building.

: Hi Pete: I certainly agree with your overall comments, and am glad you've
: found a unit which performs so well. I would still confirm with your
: supplier that the cartridges are specifically designed for use in an epoxy
: environment.

: As for a full face gas mask, because of the design application, they would be
: superior to a half mask. There of course would be added discomfort, and
: somewhat interfere with visibility to the work. And again, because there
: are so many organic compounds, I would want to verify that the cartridges
: would be suitable for epoxy fumes. If they are, then you have found at
: least two suitable alternatives. That's great, and good news for the
: others here who are searching for good units.

: I may appear overly cautious, and maybe I am, but both my wife and I have
: encountered situations where we have not been given the full, accurate
: story by the sources, and as a result have had to verify for ourselves
: that crucial information volunteered is indeed accurate. Thus my
: suggestion to others that they make reasonably sure that the suppliers
: (manufacturers) are giving the straight goods.
