Is a Workhorse P100 Respirator fine?

[CrAzY Ey3Z]

I went to Home Depot yesterday and bought a $45 respirator capable of blocking asbestos and lead, I asked the sales associates if it'd also protect against resin particles, and they said it "should" rofl. Unfortunately I'd rather make sure I'm going to be fully protected before I attempt using resin tomorrow lol. Here is a link to the respirator I purchased, if someone could please let me know before I open it I'd greatly appreciate it ^_^

Your link is broken.

However, if it doesn't say anything about organic vapour, then it probably won't protect you. And particles are something else altogether.

Ah sorry, hopefully this link works!

Since the description doesn't mention Organic Vapor anywhere, I'd return it and get one of these:

Ah good call. Thank you so much They only had Workhorse ones while I was at the store so I'll have to check Lowe's or Home Hardware lol. Thanks again for the help, I figured I may as well check here first before I started since I'm new to this rofl.

Yep as stated above return it and get one approved for organic vapors. Particle protection is really only good for stuff like sanding,etc where stuff is flying around in the air. Kudos for checking with us, safety is of the upmost importance to the staff.
