I know my mask wouldn't work. Its a biological mask for when i go drain diving or for when i go to abandoned bildings during an urban explorer romp. It is rated for most biological pathogens.

Give this a try. When you need to weld some nasties, place a shop vac hose on the table about a foot away from the weldament. Fire up the vac and weld. If properly placed, it will not draw the shileding gas but WILL draw the smoke and nasties from the weld. A piece of # 9 wire may ne helpful in holding the vac hose. it's kinda cool to watch the weld color go away with this setup. Perfect ? Not by a long shot but does work for powder coat, galvanized or other nasties. This works fair for grinding. I have no welding hood. I have a 30 " fan on the floor for plasma and other nasties. Fan blows out the door. Have piddled with a water table for plasma but not really handy for me here. Protect yourself. BTW, get yourself a plug in CO detector and place it close to the door of your gasser. Let us know the results.
