:but my windpipe
: not so good. I have that scratchy throat feeling I usually get
: when NOT wearing a dust mask! I wore the mask all the way up
: literally to the shower, but still the dust found me. I give up.
: Dust wins.

Yeh, sanding epoxy is right up there with arterial bleeding as a fun activity, isn't it?

For me, outside, upwind of object, gloves, long sleeves, mask, and wind(and dust)proof pants is basic operating procedure...re the scratchy throat - I've found that just fumes can do the same for me - nasal and airway irritation much like I get from breathing any sort of dust. Good ventilation of the workspace helps...
