[AT] respirators and Isocyanates (Urethane paint)

[John Wilkens]

Thought it's about time I got serious about tractor painting and my 
health!   Can anyone suggest an affordable air-supplied face 
mask/hood that I could hook up to my air supply?  I'm starting to do 
a lot more painting with catalyzed paint (mostly acrylic urethanes) 
and I don't have a multi gazzillion dollar vented paint 
booth.....just an empty wood shed.....until the weather get good 
enough for outside painting.  The more I read about the nasty 
isocyanates in paint catylists the more I think I'd better protect my 
lungs!  Looking for ideas.       John W.
