Fumes are no joke. If Im piecing I always wear my mask...even on the freeways. A few people mentioned the eyes being a problem...and not only on this forum. Occasionaly I do a few inside jobs w/ no windows/ventilation. I swear the fumes would eat the film on my eyes. So, when I paint indoors I finally bought a pair of swimmer goggles and it totally does the job. (Not to mention makes you look really attractive to the opposite sex during mating season)
I'v been paying for a mistake i made earlier all night, and i def. will make sure to use my mask next time - even for the minor stuff. Just to stress how important the use of a good vent. mask is, i was out doing stencil's tonight - and only stencils, so figure i was at any given spot for a minute or two tops - anyway, im home and ive had a shit headache most the night and now ive been nauseated for a good hour or so... anyway, like the thread says - take care of yourself, wear your mask.

i never wore a mask up untill now. me and my friends thought it was funny when we would come back from piecing laughing cause our boogers were different colors and when one of us would puke or trip walking back. i recently bought one and good thing too cause the other day we did these big pieces indoors and you could see all the fumes and shit spreadin around on the floor like a small cloud, all my boys were coughin and goin out for air and shit, i just laughed and told them to spend the $$$ on a good mask. shit works, well worth the 40$
Ive always worn a bandana around my face and tucked the bottom into the neck of my shirt so the fumes wouldnt go under it...does anyone know if this actually helps keep you safe? cause i dont smell fumes when i do it so ive assumed it does

how long does it take before you start/develop the long term affects of painting without a mask? i can understand headaches right after but i meah the bigger shit.
look trust me.. a resparator is the best thing you could do for your health. everyonce in a while ill paint iwht out it on... and ill get super thuck bloody mucas build up in my throat. the skin around my eyes twitches and ill have boogers the color of my piece fill. just buy a resparator and always use it when you paint.. and when you store it at ur house put it in a tupperware or try to wrap it up some how so its air tight because respartors always filter air.. and storing it well keeps it nice and fresh to protect ur health

Ugh. *Cough*
^^^your right i better not take any chances. i walked down to my local
Home depot, they had respirators for 40 dollars, its money i dont have
since im still in high school i figure i better get all the stupid shit i do in my life out of the way and steal one. any words of wisdom from the adults?
Graffiti is an expensive habit, wether you are getting spray paint, respirators, markers, or rolling paint. I suggest you get a job and blow all your whole pay checks on paint and other shit while you still can, because in a year or to you'll have bills to pay as well as taxes..
i have a 3m mask, it's a savage little guy. i've had it now for a couple of years... i was in high school when i got it and it was $40... if i paid for it... but i threw it into my bag when i was getting cans. gloves are cool to, i have a bag of gloves but if you become a stone cold savage you wont need gloves... you just gotta learn to be like that.
