I find the full covering Air Shields restrictive and sometimes closterphobic? to use but from now on will look for the spray from motor cycle shops.

Kind regards Peter.

When turning some woods i wear a face mask which covers my nose and mouth, but when wearing one of these my glasses steam up and i then can't see the work in front of me? How do you combat this. :nooidea:

Les Thorne recommends this one from Turners Retreat, you'll find it on their web site under the odd description of Mask 16" to 19", here's the description:

Developed by a woodturner for fellow woodturners. New concept in lung protection against non-toxic dust. Adjustable to fit all face shapes including beards. Easy to breathe and talk through, does not fog glasses. Can be washed, disinfected and re-used. Initial masks are still going strong after 5 years. Made in USA.

I have just taken a look at this https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/products/safety-supplies/safety-supplies/mask-to-neck-size-15 it may look as thou it is over priced but i do believe that if it does what it says it is well worth the money. :bwink:
