This mask combined with these cartridges will let you walk through tear gas like you're invincible.

That respirator is this model exactly: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007QY8X2K/ (3M 6000 series half-facepiece respirator)

It comes in 3 sizes (model numbers in parenthesis). Small (6100) /Medium (6200) /Large (6300). Small fits my tiny girlfriend very well. I wear a medium and have an average to largeish head. Small is a pale grey, medum is medium gray, and large is almost black.

This model in particular is made of a TPU plastic which is... not that comfortable, to be honest. Wearing it for a couple hours will leave you with marks on your face (ridge of nose primarily) that take a day or two to go away.

For a few dollars more you can get the 7500 series, which is miles more comfortable because of the silicone face seal: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Facepiece-Respirator-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B008MCUT86/

Then all you need is a pair of replaceable filters, which you should purchase based upon your work or the potential hazards wherever you are exploring.

For most UrbEx type situations i'd imagine a P100 filter will suffice (P means oil and non oil particulate and 100 is the percent it filters out - realistically its 99.97%, but close enough... don't risk your health with anything lower than 100).

These are my favorite particulate filters (high flow and nuisance organic vapor releif): https://www.amazon.com/3M-Advanced-Particulate-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHH94/

For really sketchy stuff you'll want a combo unit which has multi-gas and particulate filters (which you shouldn't do anyway): https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60926-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHLRC/

To summarize: So yeah, get yourself a mask that fits well and filters for the specific job/location you're doing/visiting.

3M makes all kinds of good masks, but in general they come with 'attachments'. So you buy the filters and screw them on both sides.

I have both particulate filters (non gas) and gas filters (that also do particulates) but there's a huge range of different ones for different purposes.

This is a very common model and works well.

Here's an example of filter 60926 which does gas & vapor, organic, acid gas, ammonia, methylamine, and formaldehyde. Would most likely cover pepper spray too.

Well FWIW this mask and this mask both exceed military standards for CBN protection. So that could, if you weren't in a direct blast area, help you get somewhere to safety within 40-80 hours. Just don't expect to be eating or drinking in those things. Or having facial hair if you need to use them. I might have to spring for the goatee look. *Sigh* And also get my eyes lasered.

Edit: For clarification, if you're concerned about CBN stuff and you go with the 3M mask these are the filters to get. You want P100 Acid/Gas filters.

A shady area (I'm thinking under trees, not in a garage) may help, but won't stop the resin from curing. If you have a covered area, that may be a better option.

Alternatively, I would recommend getting a face mask to help with the headaches and the smell that's bothering you. I use a couple different kinds when working with materials (from a mask that has a vent filter, to a full on mask with big filters on it, for example: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Disposable-Respirator-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007JZ1P8A/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=face+mask+for+chemicals&qid=1569175931&sr=8-15 I use a face mask like this with the big pink filters when spraying clear coat and automotive paints and it works great https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60926-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHLRC/ref=pd_cp_328_3/146-5296099-0774129?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B009POHLRC&pd_rd_r=e038d1c4-898e-46d1-8128-f7cb70c56aa8&pd_rd_w=8t2o5&pd_rd_wg=E6hUd&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=P70GJ26Y4VJQ8F56WTTB&psc=1&refRID=P70GJ26Y4VJQ8F56WTTB ).

If you're doing research you may end up using isocyanates and if so will want (if not a forced air system) one of these:

Filters are good for 8 hours of exposure. I'm not familiar with curative concerns for sugar motors but you can look up the MSDS to see the PPE requirements.

2097 is pretty great. Cheap and compact.

The 60926 however is their "everything" filter. Organic and non-organic vapors, oils, odors, chlorine... I recently had to use one in a room flooded with toxic ozone. Couldn't smell a thing, never got lightheaded. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009POHLRC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not all eye protection is the same. I use the 3M Lexa Splash GoggleGear. Those were recommended by 3M for simultaneous use with a respirator. Regular glasses don't have any protection around the eyes, so when wearing a respirator, the dust is funneled right into my eyes under the lenses. Larger cheap $4 splash goggles were too large to work with the respirator.

Also, that respirator I linked to is just the reusable part. He'll need filters. For only dust, a pair of cheap P100 filters will work. As soon as he starts painting, using chemical finishes, anything with a vapor, he'll need something more versatile that absorbs the chemicals as well as dust.

Is there any reason the slightly cheaper 60926 cartridge would be less sufficient than the 60928 one?
Don't want to be cheap but this will be a long term hobby so don't wanna pay more than needed. ($17 vs $30)

Lmfao, even a N95 respirator will only protect your lungs.
What you need is a fucking gas mask with 60926 filter to properly protect your eyes and skin

I use these cartridges 3M Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge/Filter 60926, P100 Respiratory Protection

And I don’t smell the spray at all until I take the mask off.

Those cartridges go with this mask: This one

I wear the 6001 organic vapor as well as the P100 for dust. Although you could just get a combo filter that would do dust and paint/varnish in one for just a bit more money. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-Filter-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHLRC/
