need to pick one up from screwfix this morning ...is this one (with p3r filters) suitable for protection against aerosol spray paint 'vapour' ? https://www.screwfix.com/p/jsp-force-8-mask-respirator-with-press-to-check-filters-p3/1863f
Never used that, looks ok, I have several 3M respirators. including one below. https://www.screwfix.com/p/3m-6000-series-half-mask-without-filter/8952g
I found the GVS Elipse to be the most comfortable, especially if you're going to be wearing for hours at a time. The ones with a cannister that clips on the side tend to feel to bulky especially when you turn your head.
I use the force 8 good mask, I agree the hazards filters protect you from are confusing, just give Screwfix a ring the operator will find out for you. I have found them very helpful.
Good thing with 6000,it's available in three sizes & you can use 2000, 5000 and 6000 Series Filters. Using 3M 6035 Particulate P3R Filter & the cheaper 5935 P3R filters, plus a few others. https://www.arco.co.uk/products/111500
Hmm!! Having trouble aligning the arrows on the mask with the arrows on the filter so that the filters are straight. Called jsp help line they say it takes a real hard twist of the filter :-/ hope it's covered for accidental breakages cause these things are bloody tight :-s
Yes they are hard to turn, just ensure they are on correctly and go for it, I guess you could lightly moisten the seal with a wet finger.
I spoke with the jsp helpline who are aware of the issue. Bottom line is they are a tight fit. I think unreasonably tight tbh. Managed to get the filter in place using a silly amount of force ... no wonder they are called force 8 ... I'd say a 10 personally. To be fair to jsp their help line is very good .. a refreshing change to the international help line one encounters with Virgin media.
