What do you use for safety reasons on your work bench? Masks? Rubber gloves? Or even thimbles?

From my point of view: almost nothing to be honest. Okay, when I paint, I dont wear my best clothes and Im using acrylics in 90%. The other 10 are enamels for metal colors etc (but I found out that Vallejos brand new acrylic metals are very good too!).

One thing what is important nevertheless is a mask. Its from Moldex and helps a lot. Maybe I have to get some additional active coal filters too for the perfect result. The safety goggles shown below arent used that often - just because I wear my glasses under it as well.

I read that Mostrich uses Draeger masks, heard a lot of good things about them too..



Come to the dark side... we have cookies!

I like cookies! I really don't use much. Mostly spray acrylics or rattle can. I do turn on the spray booth, though. Hasn't really had any adverse as;fajlk skjj0249 al.

I always use a condom...

As mentioned by Manny I also use condoms, and also rubber boots when raining. Except than that, I also use a dust mask when sanding plastic, resin, putty or CA -that's really nasty stuff. I paint with acrylics but I always use a respirator, ok solvents are not as bad as with enamels, but some pigments might contain heavy metals.

Safety measures:
Respirator when airbrusing, rubber gloves, safety goggles when using my Dremel, dust mask when sanding. Basic stuff really.

Nothing actually. Any airbrushing I do were done in the comfort of my garage or outdoors during the summer. With colder weather coming, I will be investing in an airbrush booth.

Nothing... I have made it to this point with nothing worse than the occasional xacto cut or super glued together fingers... Why change now

Yup... We're rebels in this hobby when it comes to safety. Kinda like drinking water from a garden hose and riding a bike without a helmet when we were kids. We bad to the bone!!!

Or riding in the back of a station wagon with no seat belts and windows down....

I also use nothing but I am careful in what I do.
