OK. Sorry Ed. Really. I was too brief. I wasn't asking, I was
commenting. I was worried that if you post "Also, wear a cheap fume
mask (I paid $8 each for three 3M fume masks at my welding supply a
few years ago, and I still have two of them)." that people may confuse
them with the cheap paper pasks that you can buy. I know you said you
paid $8 each for them, and I know you called them fume masks. But I
have seen misguided/ing posts here, and have actually been told bad
info in shops about stuff like this.

Sorry, Nick, I really don't understand what you were asking. It's a little
too cryptic for my brain to follow.
