Ask your QuestionI’ve been preparing to restore my wood flooring for a while now and I’m planning to sand it to down to begin with. I’ve read that I should wear a dust mask. Could I just use one of my face masks I’ve been using for covid?
Asked by Pete on 4th Mar 2021"I wouldn't recommend it, masks generally don't cost that much, i would invest in one for the sake of a few pounds"

Answered on 12th Oct 2021 - Member since Dec 2020 - report"No is the short answer. You need a proper face fit mask with filters and use extraction if poss for power sanding. Dampening the area to sand slightly will help minimise the amount in the air but you will not be able to stop it. Ventilate. Extract and use PPE if you value your lungs..."

Answered on 5th Mar 2021 - Member since Feb 2020 - report"Unfortunately not, you will breathe in most of the dust but if you search JSP FORCE 8 MASK RESPIRATOR WITH PRESS TO CHECK FILTERS P3 on screwfix, this is much more safer and comfortable to wear as masks can be really irritating."
