limiting my time also keeps my exposure to hazards at a minimum...like exposure to paint fumes from aerosol primers...resin dust...etc.
since I deal with resin a lot...what is the best mask out there to prevent breathing sanded off resin dust? right now I use the 3M N95 Sanding respirator (without the valve) but I noticed that I can still smell a faint odor of the resin and it smells almost like gasolline. I also wear safety glasses and with this kind of mask on, my glasses fog up as soon as I start breathing. any other better ones out there?

In regards to your eyewear, I would recommend antifog safety glasses from Uvex. Definitely some of the best safety goggles you can buy. I learned about Uvex back when I was in art school. The school I went to is one of the leading transportation design schools and I was good friends with some people in that department.

Most of those guys wore Uvex head gear, be it goggles, glasses or face shielding. So I would recommend taking a look through their website and catalog.

I can't help you on the breathing side as I don't know squat about protective breathing gear. You will have to get that info from someone else.
