Post by: fiatfsm on April 18, 2006, 06:58:41 PM: its very hazardous to use, you are supposed to use breathing gear, and Im sure you arent allowed to use it in your garden! also, it is a gun finish paint, you cant cut it back or anything as its very hard. its to be banned from sale in 2007 I think, and really is supposed to be only sold to the trade.

Post by: bis13 on April 19, 2006, 07:27:48 AM: check out the price , an old army issue s10 respirator will do the trick the canisters are charcol filled . try an old surplus supplier they might be cheaper than a civvy mask and you wont need goggles with them.

Post by: aircooled head on July 18, 2006, 08:51:41 AM: 2 pack paint contains cyanate which is derived from cyanide, and is very bad for you as it coats the inside of your lungs and cannot be removed, a normal charcoal filtered mask is useless. Ifyou insist on using it, you should use a air fed mask like the professionals use, which is cheaper than poor health in the long run.

Post by: neil 126 on July 18, 2006, 10:10:36 PM: not all 2 pack paints contain syanide, i use 2 pack piant regularly and there is no cyanide in there, i've checked.
