    Default Precautions when spraying Poly fiber products??

    What precautions did you use when spraying the poly fiber products? Did you use just a good respirator, or a supplied fresh air hood etc?? I plan on painting in an enclosed area (home made paint booth) with fans for airflow. I've heard that a good respirator is adequate, is this true? I'll probably be using poly tone as my topcoat. Looking for what you suggestions.
    Thanks

    If you have good air flow a good charcoal respirator is all you should need. Keep your skin covered too. The stuff does stink.

    I used a fresh charcoal element respirator, long sleeves and rubber gloves. That's all.

    I probably could have gotten away with the "liquid glove" product for painting. I used it for the covering/gluing process.

    I just finished with Primer an hour ago. Just used eye protection and carbon filters on a 3M mask. worked great in my home made booth. I didn't use ventilation fans and let me tell you, it gets pretty dang concentrated in the air. I read the Poly Fiber manual and the reducer 65/85 vapors used for the color coats are harmful to eyes. Did anyone use just eye protection and not true goggles. I think I will buy goggles.. especially since I don't have ventilation.
