I t looks a little bit extreme but safety is important

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

Hmm... I got mine this year from Davros Online and had no problems with them, other than them sending me a different mask from the one I'd ordered as it had been discontinued... however they did phone me up to tell me this, giving me an option to cancel the order if I so desired.

I imagine that there must be other UK suppliers of these types of masks as I think hospitals and facilities that deal with infectious bio nasties use them.

I'd like to use them again, but will in future phone them first to make sure that what they have listed online is actually in stock and ready to ship.

I don't wear anything while I'm doing jewellery work - maybe I should? But I do wear glasses now when I clean the loo - I had bleach splash back in my eyes a couple of years ago and was very close to losing the sight in one eye - makes you think differently about it!

Nic, do you do the breathing noises like Darth Vader as well as looking like him? May the 3M force be with you!!!

Lol -Nope the breathings pretty easy, but we did have fun re-enacting one of the Dr Who episodes.....
"Are you my Mummy??"

Gosh if its that dangerous there will be some EU law banning it soon!

With proper ventilation (and by that I mean a working extractor hood) then I wouldn't be in a face mask,
but as I work from home in a listed cottage then the best I can manage is dilution ventilation,
(which is where you open two windows to create a through draught past you).
I'm very careful about what I breathe in as I'm a chemically sensitive type of person...

I t looks a little bit extreme but safety is important

Yep it is, but probably good for the new wave of "steam punk" fashion too
just waiting for them to hit the catwalk

I once had a heavy bangle slip out of my tongs and splash in the safety pickle....was really glad of goggles that day!

I have tried this but found that I got tarnish on my "t**s"

OMG - Cathy you made me snort tea out of my nose (just cleaning tea out of the keyboard)

Ha ha Cathy!

I'm really bad about wearing any sort of protection (no comments from you Geti!). I've got all the gear but never use it. I know I'll regret it one day.

Yes I do, but I can't concentrate on my work. I used to wear my owen hand made mask that proctet me from pollutent like dust particles.
