[Woodcarver] Dust Mask

[Ramsey]

I looked the Dust Bee Gone dust mask and it doesn't look like it 
seals very well around the edges.  From the photo it appears that 
there is some type of fabric strip around the outside.  I don't see 
how this can seal, especially with beards.  Maybe someone can fill me 
in.  I use a 3-M rubber mask.  It's heavy and uncomfortable but I'm 
confident that there is a tight seal.  I stopped using paper and 
fiber masks years ago because they didn't do a very good job.  I am 
exposing myself to airborn dust, all day, everyday and it's important 
to have maximum protection.  Some of the positive airflow face 
shields look good but are very expensive.
