you are a fool if you are spraying anything without a good mask. if so sell all your equipment and seek a different job. geez we knew better 40 years ago.

I am not a pro so I use regular dust mask and I use an Air Brush....I just wanted the shine and durability of automotive paints, but I will use sherwin williams for now, as their cured Polyurethane clearcoat dont seem too dangerous...

How about Enamels? I heard if you put a hardener it makes them more durable to scratches

 

They all should kill you at about the same rate.

BUY a MASK.

Smell has nothing to do with danger, as the most dangerous items in there usually have no smell and the blend of solvents is what gives the products its unique smell.

you got that right....I will buy one big expencive mask.... :thumbup:



so No difference with polyUrethane vs 2K Urethane in overal durability?

 

this has got to be a troll............. nobody can be this dumb. your gonna die . understand ? i don't care what you spray it will kill you. lacquer ,enamel, urethane even latex . if you cant follow the safety procedures on the can get out of the business while you can. a dust mask is useless. go to napa and buy a 3m mask for gods sake !

we are all going to die at some point or another sir....and yes I will buy a nice mask also....

 

Just curious, what's the definition on here of troll and what would be the point of trolling through sites?
Thanks...

that's a guarantee but there's no sense in rushing it.

 

yup.. a paint rated charcoal filter will be ok as long as the filters are changed fairly regularly... I use 1 made by 3M and generally use up 6 sets of filters between the primer and paint on a car.. it's the isocyanates that kill and you can't smell them

 

Don't pay any attention to all these guys saying you need to use a mask for paint spraying. Just put a good clear plastic bag over your head with a couple wraps of duct tape at the neck and I guarantee nothing harmful will get to your lungs

 

There is a difference.
Polyurethanes are generally a little tougher than just a urethane but the
terms are so loosly used it's hard to know for sure what it really is.
Most auto clears are urethanes. SPI brand clear is a poly,
I doubt if you'll ever be able to tell the difference on cars.
I think the poly is one of the few rated for aircraft, it has to pass
a test resisting hydraulic fluid for a certain time period.
It's called the "skydrol test" imp:


PS. It's not when you die you need to worry about,
It's HOW you die. Some ways are much longer and more painful
than others. Especially when you're paralyzed.
