3M Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6300, Gases, Vapors, Dust, Paint, Cleaning, Grinding, Sawing, Sanding, Welding, Large

I assumed you meant the medical masks. That's ridiculous that even respirators are sold out.

I don't know if it's good enough to remove asbestos, but I've got this one you could borrow if you can't wait for online delivery.

In addition to the above, if you can afford it, Amazon has excellent air purifiers with HEPA filters that will trap and remove COVID particles from the air.

This mask is also available on Amazon 3M - 51131070264 Half Facepiece... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JZ1MK6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and so are the P100 filters. The N95 masks you’re not going to find. The supply chains have been very mismanaged.

>shitty compliance is not an argument against masks

Actually it is unless you plan to somehow force people to wear masks correctly? Which is quite literally impossible. It is because if the population doesn't wear masks correctly they are not effective. That is quite literally how that works.

All the studies I've seen about how masks are effective were done in hospitals where the staff was wearing all PPE correctly and taking all precautions and most importantly they are trained to do so; like there's literally a class on all of those things.

As for Sweden I'm not talking about straight numbers because yeah those aren't comparable since there is a different total population I'm talking about the numbers that have been adjusted for population. They are comparable to other countries that had mask mandates; last I had looked they didn't get massive death and carnage from not having mask mandates. Also their Health director stated that mask mandates were dangerous due to people when wearings mask not following distancing guidelines; so unless he lost his medical license and knowledge as soon as he said that....it's almost like masks aren't 100% known to effectively prevent spread of CoVid.

Also news flash a non-insignificant portion of the world is shutdown; so I'd say we failed on that. Looks at NY, CA, MI. Also according to the MSM the vaccine is death cause Trump is developing it.

Did you watch the video I posted or look at the link? Cause I don't think you did.

The only type of mask I believe that will do anything significant to protect you from CoViD is something like This with the appropriate pads and maybe N95(or higher) masks.

You should be very concerned about you respiratory health! Most of what we do is very detrimental to your lungs so proper protection is critical.

That said, I recommend a 3m 6300 series respirator with the quick latch option (it'll be 6320ql, depending on the size of the mask) half face respirator with the 3m p100 filters. They will handle grinding dust, smoke, organic vapors and most everything else we deal with. They come in small, medium, and large, so pay attention to that when you order. Proper fitment and sealing on your face is critical.

Do yourself a favor, do not buy it at the big box stores, it's cheaper on Amazon.

In case you're curious, I'm a full time professional with over 30 years of experience and this is what I use.

Have fun forging!

Favorite face mask? 3m half face respirator. P100 cartridge filters out 99.97 pct of particulates, vs 95 for N95. Much more comfortable. Much better face seal. Doesn’t fog glasses. Can’t speak well through it though.

I tape a piece of surgical mask over the exhaust port, so I don’t spread.

They’re readily available—you’re not stealing one from a health care worker https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1MK6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=3m+half+face+respirator&qid=1606927208&sr=8-3

Now that it’s cold, I kind of like wearing a surgical mask outside, keeps me warm.

I just did a search and Amazon has plenty for under $20. Ex: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1MK6/

Did you cover the valve with a surgical mask?

Where do you buy the filters?

I have the 3M Half-face respirator with the interchangeable cartridges. It gets the job done, been looking at the RZ Masks. Kind of want something that isn't as bulky for quick jobs.

[Size Large for reference]

This is a much better option.

> Not to mention the waste from masks is far outweighing plastic bags.

I’m referring to p100 filters used on half face respirators, Not the kn95 masks. It seems like Lowe’s still has 3M p100 filters in stock, and other online retailers like amazon Still have the half face respirator. Pretty reasonable price at $30 for the complete setup, including two sets of filters (4 total). These last quite a while if you’re not working in a really dusty environment and wipe down the silicone interior occasionally.

Like the other commenter mentioned, these don’t conform to our public policy on masks for preventing covid transmission because of the exhaust vent. And facial hair must be removed to form a good seal.

Here’s a link to the half face piece. This is a large, they come in other sizes: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1MK6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=3m+half+face+respirator&qid=1599021837&sr=8-3

And here’s a link to the filters from Lowe’s, which seems like a reputable seller. I’ve bought these and they seem to be genuine and work well: https://www.lowes.com/pd/3M-2-Pack-Disposable-Sanding-Cartridge-Filter/3125515

This respirator 3M - 51131070264 Half Facepiece... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JZ1MK6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

With these filters 3M Organic Vapor/Acid Gas... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AEFCKKY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Great fit, really easy to put on even with gloves on, and works amazingly well.

Different resins have different safety requirements so the specific resin you are using should give you the MSDS info so you can see what specifically is needed. Some resins do have lower and/or less toxic fume levels so it may be ok to not use a respirator as long as you are in a well ventilated space.

As far as where to get a mask I got mine at one of the big box hardware stores last year. Depending on current restrictions in your area and how restocked your local stores are you may be able to find one there. Otherwise yes they can be found on Amazon or various other online retailers. I think this is the one I have but Amazon has a lot of options that will work. One thing to keep in mind is that the filter cartridges and mask are generally sold separately and not all cartridges will work in all masks.

No worries. This mask: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JZ1MK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0MPkEbJVPE2A4

These filters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07571LKP4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3NPkEbNXGQJJV

Give some thought to your mask size. A large fits me comfy, medium hurts my face. Any of the 3m filters will fit that mask but those pink discs p100 are comfy all day.

screw amazon, just go to 3m's website and search for distributors there. It's where I got my masks. You can still get

Make sure to do a negative pressure fit test with the mask once you have it on and adjusted to check for a tight seal before putting on the filters.

These respirators are fairly cheap about $36 with filters

These are my reccomendations, you may put a cloth or surgical mask over the valve on the front through so if you had covid you wouldn't infect anyone

Hi all, will this facemask protect me from Covid-19? If so, what cartridges should I use?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JZ1MK6/

$13.14

Dunno if filters are sold out or not though.

Buy a p100 makes for yourself on Amazon they are going for as low as $13 and the filters are also affordable. I know it’s not the sanity we deserve but at least it will keep you safe.

So, like if I got this and this would that work?

If you really want a face filter just get a half mask respirator with a multi cartridge (magenta / olive).

I swear by these: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1MK6

I can barely tell there are odors when the filters are good.

There are many choices for construction use

From Europe so can't really help but there are plenty of mask designs on thingiverse:

https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=mask+covid&type=things&sort=relevant

Once you find a mask that fits your face (some can be formed with hot water) you can use them and cut n95 masks in the shape of the filters.

Problem is that many masks don't use a type of rubber between face and mask and this will probably start to hurt pretty bad after some time. If I were you I would buy a 3m mask like this:

https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1MK6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=3m+half+mask&qid=1608800443&sr=8-3

Bought one myself and its very comfy, has a vent though when you breath out so its protects you but not the others. Can be fixed with this (vent in the middle):

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4223753

If you're paranoid, just buy a respirator.

https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1MK6

and a couple filters

Good

Better

Best

Don't forget you need to buy filters too.

P100s are the best ones, but may not be necessary.

With a 68% test positivity rate, your false negative rate is the least of your concerns.

I know that sounds glib, but, seriously, that's a terrible positivity rate.

Assume everywhere you go someone is infected. Get yourself a P100 and a face shield and you can safely go to the grocery store.

I myself like this:

Combined with this as the filters. The combo is reusable indefinitely:

Super light, much better to wear than the pink boxy filters.
