Actually, very little smell comes through the mask. I wouldn't say it is 100% effective, but, it certainly is way better than not having any protection at all.
The little dust masks are mostly worthless for containing the smell of paints, fiberglass, epoxy, or Por15.
Occasionally, the filters should be changed, much like a water filter, they only last so long.
If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

Wow! What an opportunity! Lol... I actually prefer somewhat shorter vehicles rather than longer, but thanks for the offer.
Welcome aboard!

Yet another visit to the adult drug den... I ran out of paint brushes! Nothing like a couple dozen that are on sale!
Thank you Harbor Freight.

While I was at it, I decided to add a sanding pad and some sandpaper to the oscillating tool. They were on sale, so I figured, why not?

The weather is supposed to warm up around here this week, so I am looking forward to getting additional work done.

Mask are available for many different types of hazards. They are available for odors. The most popular mask on the retail market is for dust.

In case you are wondering....
This week has been BS.
BS, as in Baby Sitting. What did you think it was? Lol...
Be very careful working in a tight and/or closed environment with vapors and/or dust. A flash fire only takes the flip of a wall switch or a heater cycling on and off to cause an explosion. We locally have had people killed and businesses destroyed on more than one occasion due to sanding and refinishing inside them.

Use all the money you saved and buy some more goodies. LOL

These are not for dust. The filters are for things like paint which carry an odor, and they do pretty well. I am not sure any of them are 100%, but these are close.
Then again, anyone with a beard will have a harder time getting them sealed around the edges, than someone with a shaved face.
