I didn't notice any fumes. The glue pen is neat and works really well. I had to play around with it at first, to figure out how much glue it dispenses, but I got the hang of it quick. I would definitely use it again.

SMOKE: This mask is made to protect you from particulate such as airborne dirt, drywall dust, or smoke or paint particles. It cannot protect you from the poisonous gases contained in smoke, such as odorless carbon monoxide. If you are in a nearby city, as you say, you should be just fine, since the poisonous gasses will be heavily diluted by fresh air and the particulate is filtered out by the mask. Smokejumpers often go in with oxygen tanks strapped on, but forest fire smoke is not nearly as nasty as most paint fumes. PAINT FUMES: I've used these masks for sanding and painting on 3 cars and a rototiller, but remember: these masks cannot protect you from dangerous fumes in a non-ventilated paint shop. They stop solid particles, but not poisonous gasses. Professional paint shops use far more sophisticated equipment, such as air scrubbers and circulation fans, to make the air safe. So, a summary: Wear this mask for the particulate protection, and always keep your face UPWIND of paint fumes. They are great masks, and far better than any cheap mask. These would even be useful if there were a volcanic eruption in the Pacific and all that dust wafted across the US for weeks afterward, which it would. If you wear no mask for drywall sanding, you are BEGGING to get particulate into your lungs where you could wind up in the hospital with bronchitis or worse. Don't ask me how I know that. I won't even buy cheap masks now. /tvg

I set mine up to draw fumes or hot air out of my garage. It fit perfectly into the opening of a roof vent. It is only max 400cfm so your volumetric flow is not high, but to move some fumes it works. I found paint spray vapor deposited on my fan blades so it does work somewhat ok. But it is not sealed, spark proof or waterproof so think about your application carefully & be sure you are not creating a hazard

I think you should call 3m and ask if you are using it for something seriously toxic but what I used it for is laundry products people are using in buildings close to mine as the fragrances in these products make me ill. They worked very well for that, I could not smell the stuff at all. but they only work for about 18 hours total and you need to put them in a sealed zip lock bag in between uses or the carbon will keep absorbing stuff and become saturated. 3m makes various cartridges for professional use and if you are doing something with for instance glues or varnishes you want to consult them as you don't want to harm yourself but if you are just painting a room with latex paint they are good, 3m recommends also getting a particulate pre filter if you are doing woodworking or spraying the paint. (dust created) You have to buy the particulate filter separately The organic vapor cartridge will work extremely well for about 18 hours of use if stored properly.

The S220 smoke pen is perfect for detecting air leaks around windows. It is very sensitive to low-velocity air movement. Once you've lit the pen and it is producing a stream of smoke, just move it slowly along the window frame or places you suspect the leak. The source of any air leaks will be very apparent.

Read the instructions on the can, it says the fumes can be dangerous! I couldn't use it inside, in fact, I stop using it. I love CLP, it's a much better product.

No, you need to use it in a well ventalated space. As the pump pulls a vaccum - the exhaust has a fine mist of oil vaper. Vent it to the outside. LP

I have used sharpies and no problem so far. Of course, I live in a fairly dry not humid area. I have switched to the water based pens just in case, but the sharpies are still running fine.

I have only used the spray and it is not a bad or potent smell. I do close off a door for my animals because their smelling capacity is a lot smaller than ours. Overall I have not had a problem with inhaling any fumes.

It is not recommended for indoor use but if must, make sure the area is well ventilated

This vent is used indoor where there is no way to vent outside. As long as you are sure there is always water in the trap - it works fine. You will have some humidity, but no worse than anything else.

I just read the can and it says to ventilate well after spraying carpets and other items. I would have the carpet very dry so the cat does not inhale any of the very toxic particulants.

I would refer to the manufacturer. I would be afraid that it might give off toxic fumes if it gets too hot.

It burns propane and creates carbon monoxide. I would not use anywhere that is unventilated.

I use it in a two car garage with the doors closed without a respirator. You will smell it but it won't be overwhelming. It also depends on how much you use at a time. For a small project no worries. Poor ventilation will likely extend curing time.

It really depends on cold it gets in your crawl space and if you can keep the space warm during the spraying. The temperatures Ryan.H has mentioned apply to the mixture tanks, ambient temp, and the surface you are spraying on, otherwise the mix may not raise or not stick and will not provide the desired results and RU protection. Keeping a sustained temp in all three areas and being able to ventilate the space as you spray will be key. The fumes if not moved out will can make you sick. Hope this helps.

Probably but don't recommend as it should be used with PLENTY OF VENTILATION. These fumes are toxic. I spray outdoors when I use it.
