Years ago I bought a used full face mask that included an air supply =
unit for just $400. Worked great except, as you said, the rest of your =
face would look like the Sahara desert. Then, I bought a =
sandblaster=E2=80=99s hood (but they are not called that anymore due to =
silicosis). That was about $180 at the time. Used with the dedicated air =
supply, it works great. The whole, complete set-up is very expensive if =
you purchase it new but the alternatives may be even more unpleasant. =
I=E2=80=99m sure there are products that are a lot cheaper. But, once =
you use a supplied-air hood, you will never go back to the $19.95 =
product.
