Sorry to hear you got sick. A confined space like a boat is not the best place to work.

On the cartridges, I use an organic vapor cartridge with a dust filter on top of it. However, it's not a bad idea at all to get in the habit of reading the Material Safety Data Sheets for the products you use. They can be obtained for free on-line or from the manufacturers. The sheets will give you a lot of information on controlling exposures, personal protective equipment and toxicology. The sheets are not all-inclusive in terms of current research. I personally think certain folks should be extra careful, like asthmatics, women of child bearing age, folks with heart problems, allergies, etc.

Another benefit of the full-face is much more effective splash protection than safety glasses but, like I said, the full-face is not fun to wear, and obviously costs more than the half-face.

The full face is also useful if you've been putting off that plastic surgery you need or if you like to rob liquor stores for extra money.

Just my opinion.
