Best Face masks for DIY spraying etc

[tjamesbo]

Anyone recommend Good face masks for spraying I 've used a variety over the last two years I have found none good enough for me to repeat the purchase We're not talking two pack paints here or positive airflow from a compressor here just something that will adequately protect me from the particles floating about when spraying with cans sanding filler and also spraying with my compressor & Spraygun .Also to be used when MIG welding . All of the masks I've had had varying degrees of leakage particularly where it is supposed to fit around your nose
Perhaps a good mask where I can change the Filters easily and cheaply
Recommendations and Advice please
Thanks Boyd

A lot depends on the shape of your face etc.

I use a screw-in cartridge type one from Wickes, which works fine for me and wasn't expensive. So would be worth a try, unless it's one that is already on your 'reject' list!
