This stuff is pure junk. It's just a piece of cloth, nothing fancy. Save your money.If you need a real mask, look for something which has some kind of filter embedded into the mask like (Charcoal etc).

I've never tried the lewis n clark mask, but the material says cotton and velour. Velour can be synthetic or wool, both which I try to avoid. Earth Therapeutics is cotton and silk, which are both natural, and not itchy like wool. I really like these masks. I have bought them several times.

It mostly depends on the width of your face as to the size, at least that is what I found. I have what most would consider a pretty average - male - face in medium worked fine for me. Make sure you get the right filter for vapors and should be great. I would never go back to a 1/2 mask as the full is so much more comfortable and protects the eyes. Happy spraying. PS, I noticed that you said mold. If there is mold there now make you have a mold filter and please wear a full suit for own good.

I think any plain old disposable dust mask should do if you are using it for something natural and non toxic like diatomaceous earth. One from Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, wherever. If you are using a toxic powder, then I would recommend a stronger respirator that protects against paint fumes, which does not cost much, but it does cost more than a regular dust respirator. If it will protect against paint fumes, it should certainly work for powder particles. You can also ask a handy associate at a hardware store if you want to make sure what is best for what you are using.

This filter works fine for all of your dust and particulates. I would certainly change them out on a regular basis (perhaps 40 hours of exposure). However, there are better choices if you are dealing with ammonia or pesticides. Most pesticides you would probably use an organic vapor acid gas cartridge and then use a prefilter for the particulates. With ammonia, I believe that you can get an ammonia cartridge for your 3M mask and once again add a prefilter for the particulates. All this said, if particulates is the main problem, I would stick with the 3M 2097.

Not sure, i think it would be ok since the masks seem to fit universally. if you need more info you can ask the manufacturer

I have to wear mine most any time I leave the house and have found these to be very comfortable. Don't seem to get hot or have all that moisture that you get with the medical type masks. I would recommend giving them a try!

I have no problems breathing with it. I tried the Sly Profit before this but I had a hard time breathing on that one. You can definitely hear yourself though with this mask compared to the profit. I hope this helps.

Probably ALL filtering face masks have some kind of breathing resistance. It is a covering, after all. That said, I have found the microfiber Vogmask to be comfortable to wear without too much resistance. I used it cleaning up a very dusty room, had it on for over an hour, and didn't encounter any problems.---Charles Foster Dudley

To keep dust and mold out of my system I used the pink circle filters (3M Tekk P100 Particulate Filter with Nuisance Level Organic Vapor Release) and it worked wonderfully--much better fitting and much better working than those disposable masks. If you have allergies or asthma or got really irritated lungs/nose/throat the last time, I would recommend this for the next time.Others have mentioned more detailed specs on the 3M website. (Your second question, I don't have a response for.)

This is made for particulate matter so it won't help much. A half face respirator or whole face with disposable filters meant for vapors would be much better. A cheaper niosh mask N 100 or N 95 will help less and must be changed often but something is better than nothing. The valve in the mask you asked about lets odor and some vapors in. The best beside the respirator as for smelling it are the blue N95 in the least expensive area. I'm surprised her employer does not provide this.

These wonderful masks have no odor. I wear one every time I go outside, to the grocery store, gym, & anyplace else I might be around people who are ill. When I go to an Indian casino I end up with them 3 deep so the smoke doesn't bother me. I have asthma & these masks work very well for everything. Pat

Nikolai, This is a good designed mask for any dusty job. The reason I spend more for this design is because of the front vent that directs the exhaled breath away from fogging up my eye glasses.

I have tried the Advanced. While they may work just fine for some folks, they didn't seem to give me the 'open nasal' effect that Breathe Right Extra does. The Extra type are made with heavier material and they adhere very securely, keeping my nasal passages open all night. And, they remove easily, too.

You ask a question that I wish I had asked - figured it out! You can get the nose cushions from Amazon by searching "nose cushions". These do seem to tun large, but definitely do the job I have tried several masks, but nostril, and full face. This is the only one I hasve been able to sleep through the night with. Hope this answers

These bags are made of heavy canvas. Gold dust would work but not water. If you want to use water use old Orange containers or liquid detergent containers and tie them with rope to your tent's crossbars but it doesn't work as nicely or neatly. I'd say these are worth the expense.

There are multiple filters available for this mask. The pink 201 disks are for particulates like sawdust - but airborne particulates. They also make organic vapor filters that take out vapors such as paint, stain, etc. I'm no expert on black mold, but they also make a hybrid filter that is for particulates and vapors - which I would ASSUME is what you need. At the end of the day, the mask will work - but I'd simply visit their website to see which filter they recommend for that VERY dangerous task
