I'm getting all my "ducks in a row" to repair some holes in a plaster wall. I've decided to use Easysand, based on the great information I've read on the forums here.

When/If I sand after the repair, is something like the 3M 8210 N95 respirator adequate protection? This is a "bra cup" looking thing.

The back of the Easysand package says something about using a NIOSH N95 class respirator to avoid lung disease, so I want to make sure that I am prepared. :-)

(No lead paint, etc involved in the wall.)

Thanks in advance!

The plain masks tend to dampen with moisture from your exhaling and that raises the humidity of the air you then breath in.

You do know the material really was developed by 3M for forming bra cups, but they could not find a market for them.

Seriously?
I can see if 3M married it with their Post-It Note type of adhesive, they might be able to sell some type of "Hide Your Money" item through the Magellan's catalog. :-)

Thanks for the tip about the exhale valve ones. I happen to have a few of the 3M N95 plain ones already, so I can start out using those and not have to make a special trip to the store.

Thanks brickeyee, you're the best!

Then, of course, there is a learning curve.

And little or no need for a respirator, at all.

Does not work with setting type joint compounds.
Once they set they do not dissolve again.
