Can I use same filters when working with airbrush and using enamel paints etc. or do I need different type of filter?

Thank you]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557376/6141214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557376/6141214.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557376/6142163.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557376/6142163.page GMT
The regular P100 filters are fine for resin and cheap. It is favored by drywall hangers and can deal with pretty much any dust resin sanding will generate.

For solvents, 60921 for most hobbyists is fine. It has a built in P100 filter and they are not horribly expensive. Keep in mind though that they do have a limited shelf life, and it shrinks once open. If you are concerned about the vapors, read the documentation on the 3M website and follow it.

If you do a lot of airbrushing with enamels, consider investing in a fume hood style airbrush booth or a supplied air respirator. Both are pricey options, but eleminate the need for replacement cartridges...so if you were like me and going through several cartridges a week, it actually paid for itself in a short period of time.

Do you think I need any eye protection from those particles?


I am not yet familiar with terminology in airbrush. I don't plan to use it that much. For the time being, I only plan to paint 1 marine army, slowly as my collection grows.
Things I will use is:
AK colors(rust set)
Tamiya colors - clear green and clear blue(Hmm,seems these are enamel)
Gloss/matt varnish
some AK effects(chipping,grimes etc.)
white spirit

When you say limited shelf life, how much approximately that is? Since sometimes maybe I won't paint for weeks as I wait for new miniatures or don't have time.

FOr those things, do I need]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557376/6143253.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557376/6143253.page GMT
