What type respirator/mask do you use when glueing up blanks with CA or finishing with ca?
Thanks, Mike

I Use an organic type respirator. Plus a fan blows across the area where I'm working. I'm very susceptible to CA fumes, and this has worked fairly well. I've had a few bouts with CA fumes. I wake up a few nights later, and I can not breathe through my nose. I mean not at all. It takes a few days to clear up.
Even if you use a respirator, you can get CA fumes into your sinuses through your eyes. So that's why I now use a fan. Plus, when the weather cooperates, I have the garage door open. I rarely do CA finishes anymore.

I use this one:
MSA Safety Works 817663 Multi-Purpose Respirator - Papr Safety Respirators - Amazon.com
Since I run 4" dust collector with outside exhaust, I don't feel a need to wear the mask anymore.

If anyone is having problems with the fumes etc from CA then go odorless CA. All those problems will be gone, no fumes, no respirator needed.

I use this one too. It was under $26 about 4 months ago.

Since I can't deal with CA fumes, irregular finishes, etc., I've switched to Wood Turners Turners Finish and love it! No fumes, easy application, durable finish, etc.,etc. the only problem I see with the finish is that it does take longer to finish and cure, usually over night... I know, this will probably eliminate 'professional' turners who must run on production rather than just a 'hobby' but for we 'hobby' turners, it's much safer, and results in a great and durable finish...IMHO... Safe turnering to all and safe breathing tooo!!!
