Another fun fact about respirators, the cartridges have a small use life for chemicals. I was reading about this in a forum on clear coating where they put most cartridges at around 40 hours of use before you should replace them, and that you should seal them tightly in a bag between uses for you may be losing some of that work time while storing the mask. It is an annoying challenge protecting your lungs from all the harms out there. If we just didn’t live so long to suffer all the side effects of not protecting our lungs. 
I 100% agree with this. I’m slightly more willing to share my respirator than my tooth brush, but just slightly. 
As for administrative issues, I agree lets keep this to a minimum. But, providing respirators for sale is no more difficult than providing sand paper for sale which is currently happening in wood shop. I’m not trying to poke a stick in the eye of any member or committee just a thought and if Parks is willing to work with us this could solve more issues in the future for collecting payment.
I ask just keep an open mind and let me see where I can get on this, instead of preemptively trying to block it.
