I will just leave this here


 
Yah, I love those adds. I think these people would be amazed at what a little time, effort and $100 can turn that grill into.
 
Will this hood fit on a 2005 Genesis Gold B? :unsure:

Do you guys not wear ppe when grinding or sanding painted parts? At work, I have to send a lot of materials for hazmat testing and any kind of coating usually comes back as containing lead. Oil based ones usually contain lots of it.
 
I was a bad boy back in my box grinding days. I didn't even start wearing PPE until the last year and then it was just cheap HF paper masks. The last two years I have gone to having them sand blasted. I can't believe I used to grind them inside and out.
I have never envisioned living until I am 90. Now, I probably knocked that back another 5 years. I wouldn't do to well in a nursing home anyway.

I ware goggles, and one of these 3M respirator things. Not as much black stuff up my nose but my face and body get covered as seen in the pic.51I2YK3SSTL._AC_SL1000_.jpg

I used to do that stuff back in in the day. No one said it was bad. Even teachers in school didn't emphasize ppe. Then as you get older and learn more and more, you realize a lot of stuff we did had needless risks. And then there are the people around you that you see pass away from work related illnesses that make you think twice before skipping the ppe.

Back in higschool, I had a shop teacher who was also an engineer. He taught the kids all sorts of cool stuff but he he never used ppe. We used to use our bare hands on all sorts of nasty chemicals like ferric chloride, methyline chloride, acetone, paint thinner etc. We even worked in rooms filled with ammonia gas. He told me he wasn't concerned about his longevity because his grandfather lived well into the 90's. The guy then got brain cancer before I graduated. He passed away a few years later and left behind a wife and two young kids. He never even made it to 40 yrs old. Great guy, I just wish he took a few easy precautions.

How do you know when you need to change the filters? I have used the mask about 3-4 times so far.

The one you referenced is just a particulate filter that doesn't remove fumes. It should be replaced as soon as you feel it plugging up.

There are more factors for cartridges that also filter chemicals.
 
For the record I do wear goggles and a N-95 mask. Also thick gloves and ear muffs. That picture was taken when I was still in Florida. You take that stuff off and sweat runs the grime all over.

I am in complete agreement that no hobby is worth killing or seriously injuring yourself over. Grinders and their debris and spray paint are serious and potentially very dangerous things. I am kind of hoping to do less grinding in the future if things work out with the sand blaster guy I have found.

Joe, as A Lee says, that is good for particulates. I use it for sanding wood and other non toxic dusts. If there is a chance of fumes I use the 3M 60926 multi gas filter as it covers most of the fumes I come in contact with. You can check the 3M site to reference the proper filter for the chemical you are using.

Scares me to think of all the crap I have come in skin contact with, breathed in, and so on. I know I have lung damage from asbestos thanks to having been a mechanic in the 60's and 70's. Washed our hands with solvents of various kinds. Never gave it a thought (sadly still do sometimes) used brake cleaner to get glue off my hands yesterday. Yeah I know better but sometimes I think "hell I got this far" :D I do find myself wearing gloves more often than not anymore when I am working on stuff. Not sure why. Just do. Maybe more so my skin is softer when I am holding the baby?
