Jeff,

    Thank you for the timely reminder and for the great suggestion of
    dating the replaceable filters. 

    I'd like to add that I'm in the process of switching over to
    disposable N-95 rated surgical facemasks for some uses. Particularly
    if you're ill, these can be a way to prevent continuous re-infection.
    Additionally (and the big plus for me), they are available with the
    attached face shield (clear plastic) that comes "up" from the mask to
    protect the eyes against splashes, flexshaft dust, and little parts
    that go flying around. 

    They're available in most good dental and surgical supply catalogs
    and run about $1 - $1.50 each (sold in boxes of 25 - 50 depending on
    brand). 

    I'm using them for routine uses like polishing, investing,
    quenching, grinding, enamels, etc. They're not fume-specific (I don't
    think), so I wouldn't use them for heavy duty etching with nitric or
    that type of thing.
