- Sure you can do it. The question is, would it be safe ? The OSHA article at http://www.osha-slc.gov/dts/hib/hib_data/hib19850125.html seems to imply that at least the concept is sound. I haven't fini

- I've been through this too. I now use catalyzed polyurethane enamels, usually from PPG since I have a supplier about a mile away! I don't like a clear coat on an old car, it's just not right. The pol

- Isocyanates are a very real health concern, and should not be taken lightly. My understanding is that normal activated charcoal respirators will filter out isocyanates, but such respirators are not N

- From my research, it appears that that is very much untrue. Activated Charcoal respirators will not filter isocyanates. I was able to discover references to a special "cartridge mask" where the singl
