Best respirator for Hi-Tek work?

[wallenba]

I got my package from Bayou Bullets last week, Hi-Tek bullet coating (green). Instructions said to use a respirator. I bought a cheapy from MSC and two filters. Problem is breathing is laborious, I have to think about pulling in each breath, and exhalation is not very good, I'm rebreathing my air.
This is the cheapy I got http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/67410258

What kind will allow me to breathe more freely?

Uh, none. Shake in a closed container, dump & walk away till dry. Place in oven & walk away. No real exposure to acetone. Simple painter mask for PC.

Use a mask that automotive painters use, you can't smell any chemicals and easy breathing they are about 40.00
Some auto parts stores have them otherwise automotive paint supplier will carry them.

I just get the AO Safety brand respirators from the local home improvement stores (Menards around here but elsewhere in the US it would be Home Depot or Lowes). They run about 25 bucks. They're described as being good for paint and lead protection.

I use 3m half face with organic vapor p100 cartridges. Works extremely well.

I'd suggest, if you really want a good respirator, some construction supply store like Graingers. Full line and people who know what they're talking about.

Be careful of long term use of acetone. Really not good to inhale. I would work outside or at minimum in open garage with fan blowing. Indoor closed room is dangerous. Also, highly flammable don't keep much on hand and keep well away from heat and flame.
