Poll: Do you spray without protection?
I was just wondering how many of have been spraying using aresol cans without a respirator. I have been into this hobby for almost 25 years, and I am starting to wonder how much of an effect this hobby has had on my health. I personally dont remember ever using a respirator though always using decent ventilation.

Re: Poll: Do you spray without protection?
I've learnt my lesson and always use a respirator when I spray, especially indoors. Beats picking black crud out of your nose the next day. Not to mention what it could be doing to your lungs. Even more important now I'm using more laquers and even dabbling with urethanes.

Re: Poll: Do you spray without protection?
I paint in the garage when the door is fully open so I really don't have to, but I do just to be safe.

Re: Poll: Do you spray without protection?
I wear a respirator most of the time. Like when Im dealing with Auto Lacquers and Urethanes. But when it comes to Tamiya Acrylic...its about half the time. I think Tamiya Acrylics smell like berrys or something fruity..

Just invested in a decent mask from 3M. Before that it was a case of holding my breath in the garage, then running out after every little shot of paint to get my breath back again

I currently paint at my friends' hobby shop as my airbrush handpiece is damaged (yet to be replaced). I wear a respirator most of the time (of course, I bring my own), surgery glove, apron and the painting booth is ventilated with 10 inch fan sucking the vapour and blowing it outside Well, prevention is better than cure, right?

Re: Poll: Do you spray without protection?
I airbrush lacquers most of the time. I got me my respirator even before I received my airbrush and compressor.
So the answer is no, I never spray without protection. |

Re: Poll: Do you spray without protection?
Well, I'm probably the first one to not use anything at all. I spray in the garage with the door open. I have a asthmatic allergy but I've never had in problems. It might be smart to buy a respirator but so far I've never used any and never had any problems.
