Using a mask when spraying nitro outdoors

Post by jeffrodite »

I am going to be using rattle can nitro(deft) and spraying outdoors. The temp in south jersey is great this weekend, and I using a portable wardrobe as a booth to keep dust/pollen/whatnot off the body. Question is: is a respirator necessary when spraying outside? Helpful,yes. But necessary, to be determined...

If you are in an enclosed area you should use the respirator for sure.
