Thanks to you guys for the new respirator. As a potter I find the Paftec cleanspace ideal. In the past i have used a triton respirator. It was quite cumbersome as it was built like the early diving bell helmets no where near as heavy but it did have ear muffs and of course protected your head from any dust at all but it was very uncomfortable and hot to wear.
Different potters have different needs: working in chrystaline glazes which melt at the base on to the shelves you need a respirator to spray glazes, make up glaze recipes or for general cleaning up dusts that contain a fair degree of silicon. I use it after every firing for a couple of hours to grind (with an electric grinder) the bases of the pots hence the need for ear muffs and glasses as well. The CleanSpace works with the muffs and glasses.
For me it is perfect, gives me a new freedom while glazing and I am really impressed with the air flow. It's a ripper cheers.
