Reply:do a search on respirators in this forum.  There was a discussion about them a few months ago with some good recommendations.Benson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector

Reply:thanks on the quick feed back, I found the 3m mask in the msc catalog. Along with the pink flexi filter. Bob mentioned a chemical filter, part number 815369?http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF...0274&PMCTLG=00thanks,TomLast edited by bigcrunch; 04-24-2008 at 08:37 AM.
Reply:I use the 3M respirator a lot. I don't usually use the cartridges. The 3M 2096 respirator filter disk has the additional smell filter that works pretty darn well. Hope this helps.
