Do any of you use dust masks when servicing oil boilers I have tried the cheap disposable ones but they seem to be worse than useless and even wearing those I am still blowing my nose for a few hours afterwards and it comes out black ( I know far too much info)

What masks do you use?
 
I use a full fitted one, and a full coverall, but then I do commercial, but I would recommend the fitted one!

awwww! but I have been having an awful week. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Were you off to one of those 'secret handshake required to get in' parties in that garb croppie?
 
Same respirator as mine, Sundstrom, but mine is the full face one. Use for commercial work but disposables for domestic if required. Just use regular overalls as we have a laundry contract anyway and it works out cheaper.
 
Some years ago I invested in a full helmet/airfilter unit. Hard hat - face visor fresh filtered air - best investment I ever made. I use it on any job where dust is a problem. It runs off a battery pack clipped to the waist or stuck in a pocket. Got it from Screwfix I think.
