I have one of these masks on order.

I will be looking in to converting it to a blower based fresh air system If that is not feasible I may have to shave.

Please tell me that you're not going to modify a respirator......

Being very bearded I wear a powered positive pressure hood.

That setup is perfect

DO NOT use Vaseline to create a face to facepiece seal.   It might do a minimal basic job against HUGE CS particulates but for smaller things such as Asbestos or other particulate or fibrous materials it just wont work. All you'll do is make yourself sick and vey unhealthy later on. I'm serious guys, if you need to stay healthy shave the xxxxxxxx thing. Same reason warriors who face the real possibility of nerve or blood agents shave to wear a gas mask. Just don't do it.
