I do use the 22 decibels ear muffs always (work tunes), so I don't think
that it is the noise. I have used the paper filters before and I won't use
them. I used to have an old 3M single cartridge. It used to fog my glasses
so that in of it self made it dangerous. I am in a quandary.

I have been getting horrid headaches after using my sander. Being from
the
old school of thought, a respirator was what was used for painting,
solvents
etc... Is there a respirator out there that won't fog my glasses or be an
absolute pain in the face to wear? I am not thrilled about the thought
in
the first place but it is better the the pain I get after a couple of
hours
of sanding. Any thoughts or comments???

If you're referring to the white fiber respirators, toss 'em. Even the
good types don't seal well at all.

Try a supplied-air or full face mask if the silicone rubber half-face
respirators don't seal. And don't forget those tap, tap, tap safety
ear plugs (or muffs.) Sound could be another potential cause of those
headaches.
