A proper respirator is a whopping $30 and will drastically reduce the amount of toxic fumes that get into your lungs. Anyone doing any sort of work like this would be crazy to not purchase and wear one of these. When I spent several hours working over my gas tank, I didn't just sit there and breathe the fumes that studies say can cause cancer. I wore my respirator the entire time and didn't smell anything other than pure, clean air. You can buy them at just about any home improvement store. Do yourself a favor: Spend the $30. Don't gamble with your life. Especially not over such an insignificant amount of money, for crying out loud. -Ryan --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx> wrote: > If you are at all concerned then just set up a small fan to blow the > fumes and smells and smoke away from you.
