I've painted cars 25 years, you gotta wear you resperator, dust masks don't do it! you will get paint hangovers that can last days it kills brain cells rapidly! For the record I've worn mine religously since 86. Not a jokeing matter

the fumes from these particular paint finishers affect the neuron transmitters in your brain exactly the same way crank, crack, alcohol, and these drugs do.although you may enjoy this sort of a job it is killing you. people who paint cars for a living have the same problems. you must get a different job. you can go to see a neurosurgeon. ask him to do a cat can of your brain. the result will confirm what i am telling you. brain cells will heal themselves but you must get away from the situation that is causing the problem in the first place. good luck. thank you

Is there any furniture finisher, a person who work with paint related materials or even a doctor? I am a furniture finisher, and i work with stain, lacquer, and several other paint related materials. Most of the times while working the whole day with this I get very angry and annoyed in my job with no reason whatsoever. I mean my work is relatively nice as an environment, but i still i have this mood swing. Somebody told me that all the fumes from these chemicals have some effect in my mood after long exposures (plus the fact that they are destroying my lungs) even though i use all the protections required. Any light in this would be very much appreciated. TLW Hi Lonely.. I know from yrs. of experience myself, that even though you use the proper eye/mouth protection, that you're obviously still able to inhale a percentage of the fumes. When I was married, my ex-husband and I had a wood shop (that he still has) and we would work in it every night building, staining/polyurethane, painting, etc. and we both would not only be somewhat high from all the fumes (light-headed), but our chest would feel tight and we would be a bit moody. I think that too much inhalation causes a temporary chemical imbalance. I'm just not exactly sure what ingredient "specifically" cause it. And for the person that mentioned "bipolar" I highly doubt that's the case ur help is well appreciated

It definitely doesn't sound healthy. Are there any OSHA guidelines to follow at your work? OSHA only gets involved when there's more than 3 employees and I want to say those charcoal filters are only good 10 days after you break the seal. Nobody knows that

Even the most beloved of jobs or vocations becomes toilsome and mundane at times? Typical, occasional obstacle...like an uninspired (for the moment) artist...or a wordsmith with writer's block?

How long have you had your goatee? Respirators dont work as well with facial hair as they do without
