General Discussion

Is this one as good as I can get? Dont want to skimp on the ol lungs. Its the best I could find and its at the depot.

if anyone knows of a better one please let me know.

I dont want to beat this question to death sorry for another respirator question as ive seen plenty in search but I cant find the 3m 7500 except online, i was wondering if this is comparable or should I just get the 7500 online…or is there a better one than that?

ALSO, if any of you have PICTURES of your vaccum setup please post them or email me.

thanks all!

Its certainly the right style. I’ve often found the white rubber & clear silicon-style respirators to be more comfortable than the black ones. Can’t say exactly why, just seem less stiff, less sweaty, something.

i have a 3m 6000 series and i like it…got it at lowes for about $25. the most important thing is that it fits you properly and comfortably.

I use that exact respirator. Works great, but i have noticed that the fit of it changes slightly after you wear it for a while. If you feel that you are in between sizes go with the smaller one as the rubber will make subtle changes to fit your face. Mine fit perfect when i first got it and now it takes in a slight amount of air above the nose.

Benny is right if you can find one made of silicone it will conform very nicely to your face, but as far as filters are concerned the one pictured is as good as any.

Check the archives for vac setups and shaping rooms. there are tons of pics. all you need is PVC pipe with a few joints and mounting brackets. cheap, simple, and your room will be ten times cleaner
