RESPIRATORY protection RECOMMENDED by 3M technical support!!
I want everyone to know the low cost of practical, effective respiratory protection.
From another thread, I asked about recommended protection, but received various responses without specifics, so:
I called the experts.
I talked to 3M technical support and talked to a very helpful gentleman about what a woodworker who specifically uses CA and various finishing products should use for respiratory protection.
The whole package he recommended came to $37.53 (not including tax and shipping)
Here's the breakdown, including prices from http://masksnmore.stores.yahoo.net/
Half mask #6200 (#6300 for those of us with large craniums sized 8 1/4+)[$10.79]
filter #6001 (this is the organic filter that gets the CA and other fumes)[$8.49/pair]
prefilter #5P71 (gets the dust before it clogs the 6001, this attaches to the #6001)[$14.25/pair]
501 retainer that holds the filter in place [$4.00 / pair]
I'll be ordering this exact package. Hope this info and my inquiry helps someone else, too! If I left out anything, please let me know!
