actually those festool gizmos are available in 3 different particle filter categories ... L for large particles, M for sander dust, etc and H for those hazardous things. Needless to say that prices go up exponentially if you vote for a better filter category.
Normally I use this in case of nasty stuff in the air
this is a poor man solution... congrats for the Festool. Festool never disappointed me!
thanks,
the problem with those masks is that they do not keep the stuff from spreading and only protect your lungs, but not your surroundings. What good do they do if you have to renovate a mold-ridden wall and spread the whole stuff in the building ? ...
Mmmmhmmm... having done a fair bit of make-ready as a youth, some of which involved black mold... and knowing what I now know vs how lucky I got that I didn't wind up with some permanent lung damage...
I think this is a case where your
best tool is a credit card and a phone call to a certified mold damage restoration company. You need someone trained to spot and inspect properly, as the damage is
always worse than you think at first.I've seen vids of some of the house restorations in Nawlins after Katrina. Literally stripped down to the stick-frame inside and out, then that pressure-washed, sprayed with sealant and rebuilt.
This is
not a DIY thing.
