Default Question About Fine Silver

Hey everyone,

Do you need to use a respirator when using fine silver. I have an exhaust fan when using silver?

Thanks

I don't, I use a respirator when using enamel or anything that is a fine particle of glass

Same here. From what I've read, silver fumes aren't toxic.

The hood should be pulling to deal with fumes.
Metal fumes and particles can cause issues or trigger breathing problems even if they are "nontoxic"

One more question. What is the best gauge to use? I wanted to buy some from Rio Grande. Thanks

What are you doing with it? Trailing it on a bead?
I have 30 gauge, have heard that 32 is good, and I think some use 28.
