for general info for anyone looking at this thread, if you are planning to wear a respirator full-time when lampworking, you are likely doing it to prevent breathing in toxic fumes. The kind of respirator shown at the top of the thread is a particulate respirator, meaning that it filters particulate matter such as enamels and such out, down to a certain size. It does not filter out any fumes/gases/vapors, etc.
better-fitting, replaceable cartridge masks are required to filter out more than particulate matter. as the poster seems to be getting now.
