    Default Safety Girl!


    Soldering, Lead Enamels, Acid Fumes....A girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do!!
    Today I got my new upgraded face mask from Rio Grande - it's much more comfortable
    than the fabric dust particle filters and easier to breathe through too!
    Thank you 3M for making the P100 filter PINK

    Are you taking precautions when jewellery making? If so what do you use?

    Goodness Nic, do you actually wear that? Or is it to satisfy an H&S regulation because of the shop?

    I have an assortment of eyewear...

    1. For dealing with anything that might be sharp/hot that could endanger my face/eyes.
    2. Used when sanding greenware, dealing with anything ultra smelly like LoS or anything that has the possibility of giving off noxious fumes. I'm going to start some enamelling soon, it will be good for that too.
    3. An ordinary pair of safety specs for minor torch work (soldering, firing metal clay), cleaning the loo.

    I need to get some kiln glasses too!

    I actually bought two, one in small for me and one in medium for students to use (especially those with Asthma etc). Unless I'm teaching I have wore a fabric dust mask for sanding silver clay and working with enamels, but it wasn't very comfortable and did tend to make my glasses fog up.
    It's now part of my teaching process to explain about ventilation when making things especially when firing silver clay, enamelling, working with etchants etc.
    God only gave me one pair of lungs so I'm trying to look after them

    Vi - No2 looks like the mask I've just bought, is there a Uk supplier you'd recommend?
