Hi please could anyone recommend or advise what sort of respirator to use for glass work, working with powders, kiln wash etc.
Thank you

I got the 3M 7502 when I started working with enamels. You can use different filters with it, depending on what you are doing. That might be a bit of overkill, I don't know.

Tuffnell glass sell the 3M 8833, which looks good: http://tuffnellglass.com/contents/en-uk/d30.html#p2493

And if sifting enamels over a bead, it's good to do it over damp paper towel or a dish of water to catch the enamel which misses the bead.
