[AT] respirators and Isocyanates (Urethane paint)

[Cecil Bearden]

I should have said a whole house activated charcoal water filter. The sand blast hood I have is air suplied and has those plastic tear off windows so you don't have to worry about the paint that gets on the window.  The hood gets enough air in and is positive pressure so no paint or sand dust gets in to breathe.  The filteris a regular beathing air filter for sandblasting about $500 now...

Cecil, what is a "whole house" carbon filter anyway?....and what is 
the "air compressor filter" you bought??  Trying to get a visual 
picture.  Sure sorry to hear about your lung trouble.  I sure want to 
avoid that!   I think I agree that the air supplied mask is the 
safest way to go.  So why do you just use the sand blast hood?  Or do 
you use a mask under it?   Do you get enough air flowing through the 
hood to eliminate any paint fumes from getting in?   I've got to 
think about all the other guys' suggestions too.   Thanks everyone!       John
