    I need to buy new filters for mine, and get back to wearing it. Been drilling, milling sawing, gluing, cementing and “welding”(HDPE) all sorts of crud lately. PVC, plywood, particle board, steel, aluminum.

    I keep my space well ventillated, but just because it doesn’t leave me coughing for days like say … mowing the grass, doesn’t mean its good for me.

      Do yourself a favor and order those filters ASAP. This stuff creeps up on you and before you know, you’re wheezing like crazy walking up 3 steps. Or you skip that step and go directly to the cancer stage.

      I have been around a few of cases like this and man does it suck to see it happen. I moved shops and now have an easily accessible spot for PPE, literally no effort to grab a mask, protective glasses, whatever. It makes all the difference.
