Full or half mask

Bob grimes · Jan 17, 2014

Getting ready to buy a supplied air respirator system for painting with hardeners. Question: should I get a half or full mask? Thanks

Bob:

I purchased a half mask because:

1. I use low cost clear disposable safety goggles when painting.
2. The half mask fits well under my abrasive blast helmet when sandblasting.

I use a hood. Allows fuzz on my face to stay in place. Also it sits on my had so I don't have any pressure on face. Hose comes in at top back of head. Hose clips to belt and never gets in my way. I love it.

get the full mask. The chemicals are absorbed into your body by lungs and moistue. The eyes are the second easiest way into the body. Been a body guy for 30 years.

I have both. I use the full face for painting and the half mask for sandblasting.

Full or half mask
