The wearing of face masks whilst working

[Andy Bennett]

I have always had that problem too when wearing masks for painting/grinding etc.
To be honest I have not found a 'disposable' mask that solves the problem.
I have taken to wearing a full 3m respirator type affair like this:

larger initial outlay but is very comfortable particularly when hot or wearing for a long period and better for your lungs if you are wearing for fumes etc.

I also have a cheap face shield to use with disposable masks, which is better for grinding etc anyway and of course easily used over prescription glasses if you need and protects them from splatter.

When I have worn a disposable mask for a quick job I have reverted to the scuba diving technique for keeping your glasses clear of misting, a little bit of spit rubbed over the inside face of the glasses. Don't know what enzymes do the trick but they do. it is quick and there is an immediate supply of course.

I also wonder if RainX might work, never tried but it might stop the mist from sticking.
