paint mask
I've done a bit more paining with my cellulose putty and it is going on nicely. When I'd finished I took my dust mask off and saw that it
was yellow where I'd been breathing through it but still white round the edges. That means it's not just clouds of paint in the air
falling on the mask but the mask actually filtering it out.
So I'm thinking that a dust mask is not enough. What should I be using when spraying cellulose?

An air fed mask is the only safe way of painting anything, but celly is the most forgiving. If your mask is letting product in via the gaps around
your nose, tape it to your face with masking tape - crude but effective.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

agree, once you have used an airfed, you won't want to use anything else.
I used to paint celly at my mum and dad's house in a little single garage and used a charcoal filtered twin filter respirator thingy for that,
seemed to do the trick.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

The minimum for sparying any paint is a cartridge mask.

Can you still smell the paint while wearing it? Its a bad sign if you can !

I looked at the mask this morning and it is clean inside which shows that it is filtering paint out. I can still smell the solvent through the mask
so I'm going to look for a cartridge filter.

bit crude but can't think of another way of describing it, if your snot is the same colour as what your spraying your mask ain't working,
air fed deffo I use one of those cheapo compressors outside to feed my mask
