that oramask vinyl for stencils which I have is sticky so it isn't a problem to stick it to any surface.
I use Oramask 810. I put baking paper on top of it, use heat iron and heat set it. Works perfectly. Didn't even try with heat press cause there were so good results with iron.I like option 2. What vinyl are you heat setting & removing? I use EZ Weed, when it's on, it's on. I'm thinking, medium pressure, but reduce the heat, resulting in a weaker bond, then reheat & peel...
np, I have my share of issues. I was editing my last postNever tried the Oramask. Sorry for the time lag - I'm trying to "multi-task" & as usual, it ain't workin. I realize you referred to stencil vinyl and I thought HTV...
The 6501 filters are in fact designed for organic vapoursNo! A respirator is designed to filter particulates. It will not filter harmful chemicals such as ammonia or bleach!
yep, at the start of this thread i posted all information about the mask i have. It has 2:The 6501 filters are in fact designed for organic vapours
I know, I followed the link.yep, at the start of this thread i posted all information about the mask i have. It has 2:
3M 6051 Gas/Vapour filter set
3M 5925 Particulate pre-filter set
this is good info. Need to check how many hours. Thank god filters are cheap enough and I can change them. The mask was the most expensive in that store where I ordered and is comfortable to wear. I don't regret spending little more for comfort.I know, I followed the link.
Safety is always up to the individual to interpret for themselves but yeah different filters, different tasks.
the one thing that is often overlooked is that those vapor filters have to be kept in a sealed container when not in use. The charcoal will continue to absorb whatever out of the air just sitting there and they're only good for a certain number of hours.

They will filter the odor, but they're still not designed to filter dangerous chemicals like ammonia.
Good info Robby, thanks for posting and sharing the knowledge Bro.Personally I treat the hours as a guideline. A lot of people say if you can smell the stuff, your filters are dead. By the time you smell it though, It's a little late. After a long time using them, I feel like I can pretty much tell by the effort it takes to breathe when it's getting close to replacement time, And the smelling will happen shortly after I notice the increased effort. That might only apply to places with high humidity though, since they also absorb water vapor. Idk
Either way, yeah I put them back in the resealable bag the respirator comes in.
I wonted to send email to 3m to ask them which filter exactly would be good for the sake of this topic, just didn't have enough energy and motivation to do it.If you use the right cartridge.....
6002 and 6003 are NIOSH approved for chlorine
6004s for ammonia
Of course clorox isn't exactly chlorine (sodium hypochlorite)
household ammonia isn't exactly ammonia (ammonia hydroxide)
So they would actually fall under a different class of organic vapor

Like I said it's up to the individual to interpret for their own self but I personally don't think NIOSH is only concerned with the odor
Non- supplied air respirators are however only good for places with already adequate ventilation.
Again though, Up to the individual to interpret
Many people worked with Asbestos for a long time too and it wasn’t until much later that the damage was known and started to be an issue. Many people use bleach without PPE, but I imagine fat less are atomising the liquid.I wonted to send email to 3m to ask them which filter exactly would be good for the sake of this topic, just didn't have enough energy and motivation to do it.
On a side note, I bought 2 video tutorials yesterday and one of them is Wicked Kiss with Garry Worthington. The guy is doing black t-shirt and he is using bleach on a black t-shirt with a spray bottle without mask.
One more little thing. Was talking with my stepfather about this topic. He sad he was working with a bleach 5 years at his job. And he was using 50 liters per week. 50 liters is 13.2 gallons. And they didn't use mask at his work for working with bleach. He is 70+ now. I guess bleach didn't kill him...
And the best part, courier was here and I wasn't home to pick my white underground color. I am gonna pick it today
I just stated the facts.Many people worked with Asbestos for a long time too and it wasn’t until much later that the damage was known and started to be an issue. Many people use bleach without PPE, but I imagine fat less are atomising the liquid.
So I guess my question to people spraying bleach and not using a mask would be “Why”? I don’t really see the advantage of not wearing one.
But to each, there own.
