Thanks for the brain check and i really do mean thanks for caring. I've been using the white mask occasionally and always use the prescription plastic eye glasses and even purchased a full face shield and use them religiously because i only have one eye and in reading your post i am reminded that you are right in saying we only have one set of lungs. I am restoring a duster and am in the process of cleaning parts(Blasting/solvent/brake dust/filler dust and the works) Thanks soooo much for the check. Today i will purchase the good kind of mask. I even quit smoking 10 years ago because it was killing me. I owe you FRIEND.

"really don't know what to say bob, but you could have put my name on every post there and it would have been true. I've never worn a mask, for brake dust and I've done thousands of break jobs, i didn't paint much but in 40 yrs it added up and at one time i was painting school buses without a mask. didn't ware goggles most of the time when grinding metal or accl- oxygen welding, never worn a mask when doing body work, i welded my ring to my finger many times and jumped off of a car left one day and hung my ring on something and like to have pulled my finger off, laid under cars without stands, stood in front of cars in gear with motor running, with the hand brake on and washed parts in gasoline and at 60 yrs. old it coming back to haunt me. cant see hear or breath, but bob im not sure its any one thing i can say to change that. i believe it was a way of life for me, and if a stranger had of come by in 1960 and told me to put on a mask i probably would have told him to go to hell. these safety rules need to start from day one, in the home, school and at work. i was doing what my brother and daddy was doing and that made it ok. no body hate rules worse than i do but im telling every body, all of those safety rules they have in place now will let you live longer and healthier. im the poster mechanic. a pic. is worth a thousand words they say. "

And here's the picture he posted of what he needs now.

Looks like I need to start taking care of myself. I saw someone on here saying how they can't see a start and have to look a little to the side of it... I have to do the same thing. Like a few months ago I saw a green light from my fire alarm on the ceiling and I turned to look straight on and I can't see it, I have to turn to the side. I do it all the time when I try sleeping and it bugs me. I will sit there and stare straight at it to see if it will appear and it never does until I look to the side of it. I thought maybe my eyes weren't adjusted to the dark but I sit there for an hour or two and it is still like it so that isn't it. My eyes are really bad anyways, when I don't have glasses on I can't barely see nothing, I see big blobs of stuff if they are about 3 feet in front of me since I am near sighted and can't see far. Also I do bondo work, paint, sanding, blasting, etc almost everyday for auto body and then a lot of brake work everyday in auto tech and I never wear resperator or nothing even though I have a big painters resperator and then the dust masks but the dust masks fog my glasses and the resperator I use to paint, nothing else. I am the only one in the class not to wear the masks because my glasses. I don't wear saftey glasses because I have glasses and the safety ones don't stay on with my glasses under them. I will start wearing a resperator.
Will that blind spot get worse do you guy's think? That will suck if that's what I got.

aw but gasoline/alkie/nitro fumes smell so goooooooooood clears the sinuses to .......scooter

had a good friend here who did body work.........real macho........painted w/o respitator......went on kidney machine......now dead......so I take saftey very serious.
