I always were a dust mask for mixing, grinding sanding or sweeping etc.....asthmatic so it makes sense to me. Ear defs when grinding or wet saw (usually!)

If it's that loud you probably need to turn it down a bit as that alone with maker you deaf before long lol

I don't wear a mask when mixing......... that's what apprentices are for, but he wears one most of the time when mixing and polishing after grouting.

used to but it frightened the customers....suppose a dust mask would've been better than the gimp mask

No way! I do that loads! - glad I've found another weirdo! :lol: I have to tell Laura about this!

quite often Lou will nudge me awake in the middle of the night and tell me that I've not been breathing for a while:yikes:

My Dad suffered with it for years (since teenage life) and was only till he was researching his snoring problem that he discovered sleep apnea, and then it clicked, and my mum reported the stopping breathing thing. Went to the doctors, they sent him for tests at a "sleep clinic" and now he is all cured.

So from having 6 broken hours of sleep a night for 40 years, he now sleeps like a baby for 8 hours a night. And my poor Mum can sleep aswell haha!

I take a deep breath in, pour in the addy and then blow the dust out of the bucket.

I have just bought a mask similar to the one above, although it was a Scott mask Trouble is it didnt fit very well and i guess i must have a little head. Nothing wrong wtih a little head in my book.....

I do that too at the initial pouring it from the bag to when it starts mixing in with the water and turning my head round occasionally for a breath. Pretty nasty alkaline stuff adhesive is. I've seen what it can do to skin so God knows what it can do to your lungs.

Weber Low Dust is a big help!

Took delivery of this mask yesterday:

Put it straight into action today when I have been finishing a terracotta floor I have been doing - loads of cuts to get finished so LOTS of dust as I have been using my grinderrrr:

I must say the masks performance was excellent :hurray: Good seal around the nose and mouth with the soft rubber moulding of the mask and its like breathing totally fresh air even in the dustiest of conditions It's a little heavier than the standard paper masks I've used in the past, but WELL worth itAt the end of the day I could really see what I would have breathed in, as the external face of the filters were totally a tangerine colour from the cotta dust:yikes:

Well worth the investment

Long gone are the days when I was bothered what I look like Scott mate - it's all about longevity of life now

With that and your mask in your avatar should make a pleasant image
