: There are a few positive pressure full face masks available. They take air
: from behind your back, filter it and gently force it into a full face
: mask. All the air that leaks, leaks out past your face/beard and is
: already filtered.
: I've seen a few that take standard filter cartriges so the air you breathe is
: cleaned as though you were wearing a respirator. The main problem is (of
: course) cost, and the fact that the respirator cartriges don't last as
: long. Because the fan motor is "breathing in" the whole time it
: is on, the cartriges wear out roughly twice as fast as if you were just
: wearing a regular respirator.
: I'll see if I can find a link or one of the companies that makes these. Know
: anybody with autobody connections? I bet they can find one!
: coop
Found a source. It's not the one I remembered, but I'm sure it will work. All you have to do is sell all of your tools to be able to afford it!
It's made by 3M, the link is to a distributor (with prices as scary as epoxy fumes!).
The program has compiled on the other PC, time to go back to work!
