Allergic to my Hobby

<< < (3/3)

Del the cat:
I use an "Airshield" ventilated mask (when I think of it in time). Yew dust is worst, but sometimes just sanding a flight arrow can set me off feeling rough.

I always used the p100 type of respirators at work and also use them in my shop. They filter out almost 100 percent of particulates. Same kind that’s used in asbestos abatement. Don’t always use them with Osage but definitely use them with yew wood. Vapor respirators for the epoxy would be completely different type. In my opinion the paper type dust masks are all but useless. Still better than nothing I guess but not the best if you’re allergic.
