What kind of mask do you all use for sanding resin parts??? I am starting to get more into resin and would like to perserve my Lungs....

The fancy ones for painting or just the ones you would use for sanding drywall and such.

A simple mask is enough. What I do is I use a sanding stick and constantly dip it in a container of water this means the dust never gets airborne, it clumps together on the sanding stick and falls away in the water at the next dip. For sanding a large flat area I just make a small puddle on the sheet of sand paper.

Ok simple enough. Thanks for the little tip, for some reason unknown to me i never thought of dipping it in water......

Along the same line as Pat's sanding tip, I'll work over a damp paper towel to catch the resin dust when using a saw to cut parts off the casting block.

Makes cleaning up a heck of a lot faster too.

For sanding resin I always wear my Darth Vader mask.




Okay, seriously, the paper masks you wear for finishing drywall are perfect.

Thats ok I mow the lawn in a micheal myers mask......
