What’s a cheap, small profile mask for using swix ch7 and ch8 for basement use?

Why does one need a mask for CH waxes?
Are we talking dust from rotobrushing?
That’s all I wanted to know. I didn’t think it was a big deal but I thought I’d ask.

Sprayed indoors, that calls for a a paint-grade respirator with an organic vapor cartridge. My go-to for that is the 3M 6000 https://www.amazon.com/3m-6000-series-respirator/s?k=3m+6000+series+respirator . The nice thing about those is that you can use them with a dust cartridge for rotobrushing, and the filter mount is a de facto standard.

Sprayed outdoors (read: downtrail at the nordic area) I've just been using my regular Covid mask; your perception of risk may vary.

Suggestion from an old paint and body guy: I always use a charcoal respirator any time I use stuff like that. It's the cheapest fifty bucks you'll ever spend, and your internal organs will thank you.

Cool thanks - I am starting to rely on the spray wax for my family quiver, just bought.

Be aware that the face respirators come in sizes. I second the 3M 6000 series. Simple, easy to use and readily available. I still have one from 9/11 at the WTC.
