Kevo_6 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hi Alec, hope things are getting better for you. Thanks for the heads up, haven’t been in there for awhile and I didn’t realise they were an online shop too. Very handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the link Alec, Good to see you still plugging away and thinking of others. Just ordered the very same 3m face mask via amazon, arriving today with Mr Postie. Looking through the rest of the listing plenty more bargains to be had.

Lebro Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Cheers Alec, just ordered the face mask, essential for use on our 1980's open combined harvester. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 The masks are good but note expiry date on the filters BTW. https://www.in-excess.com/collections/safety-workwear/products/3m-7500-series-premium-silicone-comfort-half-mask-respirator-filters-3-sizes-available Stuart.

Also worth noting that the filters are for particulates, not much use when trying to avoid toxic fumes from spraying paint. Only adding this due to the topic title being misleading.

Mark69 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 If you want to use these masks for spray painting the 6099 ABEK2P3 are the filters to have.. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what would happen to a particulate filter after its expiry date though. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 3M 2138 filters are good for cellulose spraying but any sort of 2pack needs a proper full face air fed mask. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewP Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Not entirely true...Sundstrom do advertise they have a non-air-fed option http://srsafety.odp.se/files.aspx?f_id=5995as well. I guess you make your own decisions. I agree however that air fed is preferable though..BUT.. even an air-fed mask can cause issues unless the correct carbon and particle filters are used in the air you are fed. Any sort of airborne oil particulates can be hazardous (after all, prolonged exposure even in engine oil can be carcinogenic). Remember to ensure the air source is also outside of the range of the spray particles as well (have seen someone with the air compressor NEXT to the spray booth outlet!!) ANY exposed skin when spraying 2pak can cause the same issues as inhalation and be aware of the spray extents, i.e you might be safe but who else around you might breathe the spray particles. I take the pragmatic approach personally and don the full protective suit and gloves with the Sundstrom full face mask with the filter combo they list if Im doing a small job (a few panels or less). Consider the risks as like most things in my opinion ANYTHING in enough quantities can be dangerous. If you smoke like a train....drink like a fish...spend all day in a spray booth unprotected...same risk profile in my opinion. Sorry for the derail...thanks Alec for the heads up Awesome masks but large sold out Edited October 27, 2017 by AndrewP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 A couple of lamps which I also purchased at In Excess, both of which I now reckon are particularly good performance and value. . . . . https://www.in-excess.com/collections/lighting/products/defender-compact-led-floor-worklight-lamp-240v-e709180-rubber-anti-shock and https://www.in-excess.com/collections/lighting/products/defender-compact-fluorescent-hand-lamp-18w-240v Both have proved really useful as we've made a start on stripping DRN 4D . . . .

stillp Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Just ordered the LED worklight, which came to £13.90 with the p&p. A sure-fire guarantee that Lidl will have them for £10 next week. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi James, if they still have them on my next visit I could pick up for you and despatch to Brittany or send with the next UK visitor . . . . no problem. Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Ho. Bob. Only one pound Bob? I had my light delivered today, and emailed them to express my disappointment that it would have been cheaper to buy from ebay rather than their own site, and received a £2 refund! Good service, I'd deal with them again. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Mine arrived today, seems to work well. not sure if I can be bothered to ask for a refund though, it was still good value. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
