hey i use the dust 3m 7093 mask and it’s the best for polishing gold since it has those compounds, now i breath better💯 and i used the mask for doing gold plating and rhodium is this mask good for that? i haven’t smelled anything when i wear that mask especially cigarette
3M really needs a search feature to filter out the filters to narrow it down to the one you needs. It's so confusing and time consuming to research these masks and filters.
I am looking to do epoxy work, cutting tropical hardwoods, and some strong adhesives/sprays (shore adhesive, toluene, etc.) Would it be wiser to go with this full-face mask instead of the 3M 7500 series for the work I will be doing?
yeah i would, i find if you need a mask for work, it can be hard to have glasses on at the same time, making the switch to full face mask for me was great
Recently got one since I spray cabinets. Can’t get one filter in because the plastic connection turns while trying to get filter in. Can’t figure out how to connect in. And can’t return it. Oh well!
It depends on what you're doing. These masks are supposed to prevent you breathing in something that is otherwise harmful to your lungs. Your diaphragm is going to be doing more work to overcome the resistance the filters present so don't fall asleep with it so maybe exiting the area with the contaminates and taking a break every 30 minutes or so. My personal experience is after a week of work while I was using it I found my body adapting to it and honestly my diaphragm felt a lot stronger. I suggest reading 3Ms supplement information on their masks. It's seems like a lot of info, but honestly the information is so valuable.
Hi, how are you? I read on your reply back to another parson that this mask would be good against harsh chemical. Would this mask be good to use against toluene, acetone and other dangerous fumes? And if so, what bayonet cartridge would I be need to attach so I can be protected from inhaling these fumes? And sorry for the very late question. Thank you!
Looking to set mine up for dusty attics with blown-in insulation. What type of filter cartridges would you recommend? My mask is the 6800 series full face.
I honestly couldn't tell ya, they are great for dust, but you can still smell things with them. you might want to get the bigger filters that block out vapour as well.
@@bensslightnature i know. i didn’t say they didn’t did I? I also was implying that not all medical frontliners or the general public know of the use of the particular particulate filter mentioned for viral protection in Aerosol Generating Procedure while handling patients with infectious diseases even before covid. you thought wrong. it was your troll answer that is useless LOL
its tough, I fit perfectly in a medium and i can make a large work. the large is very large, i usually have trouble fitting in hats and i take a medium in the mask. hope that can help you out a bit.
@@hammerandhome Thank you, this does help. With the 3M 7500 half-face mask, I can wear a medium or large, however, the Medium is a more comfortable fit. I'll go with the medium FF-400, I'm sure it will fit fine. Thanks again.
I have never used flexi printing, but if your worried about vapours i would go with a vapour cartredge by 3m, the p100 by itself is only good for dust and not any kind of harmful gas or smells.
Hey lesyk we'd actually recommend the Mira Safety Mask with the 40 mm filter which protects against all known CBRN agents. 3M is just not made for this situation. Here are some links: alnk.to/58lvXXQ alnk.to/9T3Ys20 Mira is also available here: amzn.to/36mTX50 We hope you are safe and our hearts are with you and everyone in Ukraine!

I have pretty bad asthma, I’m thinking about buying this for protection against Covid-19 for when I go grocery shopping and doing things around the house and what not.
@@hammerandhome can you please go into a little more detail. Do I have to remove the center piece on the outside by turning it counter clockwise and then stretch it over the mound?
Scott Valdez there is an spectacle kit that fits inside the mask, you need to take the kit to your optometrist so they can make prescription glasses for it.
although it should protect you if you use a n95 or better, I've been told that it won't protect people around you if you are sick, because it does not filter the air you breathe out. I would talk to a 3m rep to find out what they recommend.
My wife uses this mask with the better pink filters at work daily she is a nurse and the healthcare system is not providing good protection if any at all to their employees so the nursing staff has to go and buy there own it is extremely sad! From what I have seen and heard thus far though this mask and filters are great for combating certain particulates! Good luck!
P95, P99, P100 filters are best as far as I've found. In the UK, P2, and P3. Those should filter out any oils (SARS-CoV-2 has an oil based body that holds it together)
@@TheSuperjwash n95 filters out 95% of particulate. p100 filters out 99.9%; the "p" just means it's oil resistant, whereas the "n" isn't oil resistant. This probably won't be important in the hospital unless you're working with oily substances. The p100 is fine and definitely better than n95.
with the right filters this would be a great mask to use.way better than a N95 paper mask. I think the only masks that would be a lot better than this would be the masks that have a air supply that you carry on your back. But you should probably check with 3M to see what they say. Thanks for watching
@Fact Checker that's only part of the story. Even N95s are designed to protect the wearer and not necessarily others from emission. There are studies out there showing that depending on the material of the mask worn, various sizes of particles can still escape through and around the mask of the wearer. Any medical staff that has been tested positive for COVID-19 should not be providing care to the patients. Still, any mask is better than none.

From (pages 4 and 5):multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1792732O/respiratory-protection-faq-healthcare.pdf
@Fact Checker Stop the disinformation. Doctors around the world are using the 3M 6800. Just put a surgical mask over the exhaust port, and you protect others just as much as anyone else who wears a surgical mask. See explanation from the doctors: ua-cam.com/video/17hfXgJr1Hc/v-deo.html
Easy to put on an use when you’re in a building with air an heat lmao. Go put it on in a attic on a 100 degree day an stay up there over 25-30 min. Bet you take it off. They are worthless. Unless its winter time.
We updated the links in the description box if you want to check out the mask on Amazon

Hi, what kind of filter should I use with epoxy resine? How do I know when I have to change the filters ? Thank you for the explanation 👍
3M really needs a search feature to filter out the filters to narrow it down to the one you needs. It's so confusing and time consuming to research these masks and filters.
yeah i have found the same thing, its really hard to know what to buy.
What filter would I need for ceramic coating and where could I get them? Thanks in advance.
I am looking to do epoxy work, cutting tropical hardwoods, and some strong adhesives/sprays (shore adhesive, toluene, etc.) Would it be wiser to go with this full-face mask instead of the 3M 7500 series for the work I will be doing?
yeah i would, i find if you need a mask for work, it can be hard to have glasses on at the same time, making the switch to full face mask for me was great
is the FF-402 worth the extra money? Looks like a better head strap and obviously the ability to talk.
i think so, it's very comfortable as far as masks go. it never fogs up and has great visibility.
Recently got one since I spray cabinets. Can’t get one filter in because the plastic connection turns while trying to get filter in. Can’t figure out how to connect in. And can’t return it. Oh well!
Does this affect body for wearing long hours or is it completely safe?
It depends on what you're doing. These masks are supposed to prevent you breathing in something that is otherwise harmful to your lungs.

Thank you so much, I work in a coal and rock laboratory and have been searching everywhere for a good dust filter...
Good filters are SO important, glad I could help!
which mask best to prevent Acetone
how do you increase the level of air you can breathe while you are wearing the mask ?
you can breathe deeper if you need , there is no restriction
thank you for the video...does it prevent fogging?
mine never fogs up. i'm very happy with it
Does this mask helps from chemical fumes as well?
Yes , I have used it for spraying harsh paints like lacquer, you can’t even smell it. You just need the right cartridge
Hi, how are you? I read on your reply back to another parson that this mask would be good against harsh chemical. Would this mask be good to use against toluene, acetone and other dangerous fumes? And if so, what bayonet cartridge would I be need to attach so I can be protected from inhaling these fumes? And sorry for the very late question. Thank you!
hi, need advice. Which filters shall i use for pvc(tarpaulins) welding? 6059?
i dont do any welding so i couldnt give you a very good answer to that one
Fantastic explanation and instruction! Thanks Brad!
Looking to set mine up for dusty attics with blown-in insulation. What type of filter cartridges would you recommend? My mask is the 6800 series full face.
I think a P100 is probably good, but i always recommend talking with your supplier to make sure.
You seem to have had this for a while. Does the funky "new plastic" smell ever wear off?
yeah eventually, I wash mine after using it alot
Mine smells like the box more than the plastic lol
we may use this in flight? 3-4 hours journey?
You could I guess. I find any respirator to be a bit taxing after a while. Check with the 3m website to see if there’s a time limit.
I tried it and it was quite cumbersome, at one point I was willing to catch the plague lest I not wear the facemask anymore...
I installed two 6100 filters but they’re at opposite rotations. So the mask isn’t symmetrical
Try moving the filters over a notch. They should fit the same way on the mask.
Can we do sanding with this?
Would those p100s be ideal for heavier exposure to powdercoating?
I honestly couldn't tell ya, they are great for dust, but you can still smell things with them. you might want to get the bigger filters that block out vapour as well.
Does it fog?
can you still wear your cap after you fit in the 6800?
not really
@@hammerandhome What about a hard hat, then?
@@thomasbrown9402 that's what the new ff400 series addresses.
What kind of filters should I buy for metal grinding ?
i would think a P100 would be fine but I would ask a supplier to be safe.
Does any one think the Ultimate FX Full Facepiece Reusable Respirator FF-403 is really that much better ?
the P100 7093 (US NIOSH) or P3 6035 (Euro CEN) filter cartridges are also used for COVID protection....
no.. they existed long before covid, what were you even trying to imply with your useless comment lol

That this be used underwater connected to an air supply?
Definitely not. Totally different style of mask.
I am working in flexi printing which one is best for me pls suggest me
I have never used flexi printing, but if your worried about vapours i would go with a vapour cartredge by 3m, the p100 by itself is only good for dust and not any kind of harmful gas or smells.

do they work with glasses
not really, because your ears are on the outside of the mask so it would leave an opening, and not give you a very good seal
Can you get extra shield protectors?
yes, they sell them separately as well
I have pretty bad asthma, I’m thinking about buying this for protection against Covid-19 for when
I go grocery shopping and doing things around the house and what not.
it would definitely do the trick, they take a while to get used to. but I think every mask does.
will it having fogging problem?
I have never had a fogging issue with this mask, its very well built
@@hammerandhome I see , thanks for the answer.
silicon can be cooked in hot water to sterilize too
How do I know what size I need ?what is the best dusk filter please
I recommend for the filter a P100 from 3M and do some measurements and research to find the size
I am about to get on a plane with one of these on. Should I remove the white plastic pads that are on the circles?
those are one-way valves, you shouldn't remove them.
Can I wear my spectacles with a full face respirator since I have weak eyesight?
not really, it will leave gaps on the sides of the mask
Nope. I wear contacts
The Amazon links don't work
Juan Espinoza thanks I’ll look into it. Some times the item expires so we have to redo them. Thanks for letting me know
A question, can the mask protect you from poisonous gases of the war?
@@Maskedman3432 no I don’t think so
@@hammerandhome ah, ok. Thanks!
@@Maskedman3432 It can actually, if you buy the correct filter
