Several things. I have aquired a 'Racal' forced air full face mask (yippee)
at a local auction. It has a little motor on the mask which pulls air thru
a filter. It comes with a couple of battery packs which hook on your belt
(rechargable). The filter opening is about 1.5 inches, so I was thinking of
chucking the filter out, and hooking up a 1.5 dia. flexible pipe which would
lead thru a hole drilled/punched in the garage wall. Then I could use
the mask for spraying nasty paints (i plan on painting the TVR firewall
RSN). (1) where could I find such flex pipe? I envisage something similar
to what you see on vac. cleaners today.
The reason for not using the filter is because I don't believe they
make one which is good against isocynates...

Marcus-
A while back someone on the list was asking for "tips" about lbc's, and cars
in general. Your above comment reminds of a very important thing to remember
when wearing a respirator or full face mask. NEVER eat a clam and pesto pizza
the night before you plan on painting...once you're locked inside that
sucker, one burp can become lethal ! (Go ahead, ask me how I know this)
Why yes, my eyebrows are growing back...
