: What kind of respirator do you need to protect your lungs against epoxy
: fumes?

I suggest finding an automotive paint supply shop in your area. You'll probably find friendly/helpful people behind the counter who will help you fit your respirator. Don't let them sell you a disposable model - get one with replaceable cartriges. Expect to pay about $35 US. They will also have lots of other handy supplies like calibrated mixing cups, fairing boards, latex gloves and protective (Tyvek) suits. Don't expect them to know epoxy though; their trade is in Bondo.
