In Response To: respirators and beards (sage)

I have a beard and sometimes I could detect the epoxy fumes and other days I didn't. I usually keep the beard short and close to the skin and It seemed to have a preety good seal but when the beard started to get longer I noticed the fumes more. A good test to see is too block the filters with your hands and try to inhale. If the mask sucks to your face then you have a pretty good seal.
