Well here we are again stomping the well trodden ground of suitable ppe for 2k paint.
I have been given a new scott/sabre vision 3 positive pressure mask by a collegue of mine, details here http://www.keison.co.uk/sabre_vision3.shtml , it is set up with an airline input to be used as an air fed mask for painting.
Now he was given this by his previous work which was with the MOD painting aircraft with 2k so I know it should be suitable for working with 2k however my query is in regards to facial hair as the mask does have a seal on it, and I have a small beard.
Now if I put the mask on with the air input closed then it will suck my face if I try to take a breath, to the point where I need to take it off after a few attempts or I will suffocate, which would suggest to me that it is sealing correctly.
Also am I correct in thinking that the positive pressure inside the mask will stop any nasty isocyanate fumes creeping in?
Thoughts? opinions? I know I need a three stage filter etc and I am very aware of the dangers of 2k so If this mask is unsuitable then I will abandon the idea of using it.
