So, I have a question about my respirator. I've read that you're not supposed to smell the resin if you have a proper respirator. So I held the can of Fiberglass Resin to my respirator and I didn't smell anything, but when I was applying the resin I could definitely get a whiff of the it if I got to close to the application.

So I just want to make sure I have the right respirator, I've also read that if it says "Organic Vapours" or something like that then it should be good for this type of applications. Anyways, heres a link the respirator I got and if someone could confirm that if this is the right respirator or not that would set me at ease a bit.

Make sure the respirator is properly sealing onto your face. Even a small gap between your skin and the respirator will leak in fumes.

That one claims it is good, since resin falls under "solvents gluing enamel laquers".
