If you don't smell anything are you safe?

It is often the chemicals that you DO NOT smell that do the most damage. For instance, Isocyanates and vaporized poisons like cyanide are relatively odorless.
Short of using a properly set up and fitted fresh air system, 3-M makes the next best thing. For priming and painting BC/CC, I wear the full face mask w/ the apropriate filter and pre filter. IT IS GREAT!!!!!
I will post my actual part numbers at a later time.
Here is what I use:
mask 3M 6900/07140
filter 3M 6001
pre-filter 3M 5N11
Needed to buy the pre-filter holder in addition to the filters.
When I am not using the mask, I keep EVERYTHING double bagged in zip-lock bags seperately (each filter in its own double bag) and store it all inside the house. I have found that the filters last much longer when stored apart from each other.
I believe that the whole set-up w/ extra filters & pre-filters was less than $200.00.
