[pianotech] best respirator for refinishing

[Mark Purney]

  We should probably mention the explosion-proof exhaust fans for 
safety. These are very expensive, but they eliminate the possibility of 
flammable fumes being ignited by the arcing of the fan's motor.  Also 
consider the 24" square filter panels, made from similar material to the 
inserts of a face respirator. These are used in line with the fans to 
make your shop's exhaust less toxic.

You can get these things through industrial suppliers like McMaster Carr.
