Finally caved and bought a proper respirator for the core room

Spent about $150 on a 3M 7500 series with P100 filters after years of just using the cheap paper masks. The difference is crazy, I can actually breathe at the end of a long pour day and my nose isn't full of black dust. Anyone have tips for keeping the face seal clean when you're sweating buckets?

Full of black dust" is the worst feeling, right?

Watched my buddy clean out his old computer last week. He opened the case and this black cloud just puffed out all over his kitchen table. He spent the next hour coughing and wiping gray gunk off his arms. Said it felt like he'd been cleaning a chimney, not a PC.

Imagine the smell in that kitchen.

Full of black dust is putting it mildly, I had to vacuum my whole desk after opening my old one.
