Bought some nice but expensive dust masks that have an exhaust vent. That way the moisture of your breath doesn't constantly build up under the mask and make you feel like you're suffocating. I have a hard time wearing a normal dust mask more than 10 or 15 minutes but I wore one of these masks for a half hour and I was totally comfortable. I almost forgot to take it off at one point. There are only 10 in the bag but I've found that if they don't get too dirty, you can reuse them. Here's a link to where I bought them, but I'm sure you can buy them in many places. www.woodworkershdwe.net There's also a good change that I can reuse the exhaust valve when the mask gets funky. We get free dust masks at work but I can hardly stand to wear them. I imagine I'll find a way to stick the valve into the conventional masks we have at work, and save a buck but still get the benefit of that valve.
