I saw a message on this topic the other day where someone had been burned in the eyes...? Does that mean the masks (respirators) that cover the eyes are best? Anyone using the fullface mask experience any problems with fogging up? I am over here in Japan where going to a hardware store can turn into an adventure... Are there any brands of masks that anyone would want to recommend? Any ideas as to where I might mail-order from? Thanks Kelly
