Not daily, but sometimes it’s all I do for a few days, 8-10 hours a day. I do not want occupational asthma, which I am sure I have been somewhat exposed to. <br>
<br>
What are your suggestions, aside from my current, which is an inverted CPU fan on adjustable “helper hands”, with a scouring pad to catch all of the “bad stuff”? <br>
It became too much to wear a paint respirator mask all the time. But I hope I don’t regret this.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
