    Another respirator question

    I think I got the wrong thing, but wondering if it would still work. I bought a disposable type carbon respirator. I thought it was a regular painters type. It is N95 valved active carbon respirator. Would this still work for pouring plastics? Thanks for the advice.

    Just for temporary use. Its only going to last 4 hours. Then trash. Get a quality respirator. No beards. Hold the respirator to your face, breath in and hold and it should stay on your face. If it comes loose or falls off find another model/brand that will stay on.
    If you burn the plastic and you have black suite floating in the air,,, get out and dont breath it,, its deadly. Forget the gas it produces.
