I blacksmith bro. I swing a 5 pound hammer with one hand for hours with a 1400° fire a few feet away from me, while wearing heat insulation gloves in the summer. I wear an N95 because if I don't I'll cough out coal dust for the next 2 days, and I'm sure as shit not looking forward to finding out how that feels when I'm 80. Oh and I'm significantly overweight. If I could do it everyone else is just bitching.

Why wouldn't you use an appropriate respirator for that task? Any respirator would probably be okay, but I'm a big fan of the 3M 7500 series for comfort and exhaust control in case you're wearing a face shield.

Cause I'm lazy and cheap and would rather throw on one of the hundreds of N95s I have lying around in my garage

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
