Where To Buy Masks/Goggles/Spacesuits

[CodStewart]

Ahoy,
I'd like my first ever crew member to do me a favour and bring over the gear that we will need during the sanding, epoxying and painting stage of getting the boat shipshape and propeller prior to lift off.
Was wondering where such gear could be bought in your average town with a high street and a shopping centre in the UK.
Advice greatfully received.

 

[davidpbo]

B&Q, Wickes or other DIY Superstore, Srewfix. Machine Mart or online only from Toolstation

 

[savageseadog]

Your local bodyshop supplier or ebay

On the subject of masks, I have found the disposable type with a one way breathing valve built in to be the best. They can of course be used more than once, but they are cheapish and light and easy to use (especially in confined spaces), and a lot more effective than the very cheap ones.

A general not to all at this time of year. Don't forget the disposable masks are not meant for use with toxic dust (i.e. antifouling). They are NOT a respiratory protactive devise.....

 

[savageseadog]

Have a look at these , there are some better ones

 

[CodStewart]

I went to the toolshop.com site and found some masks which they say are suitable for when working with toxic dust. They have a valve and are priced at around 7 quid for 10.
Question re: overalls. What do you recommend? The toolshop site has some plastic all-in-one ones with a hood. Would this kind suffice?

For Spacesuits you may want to see what the Russians and Chinese have to offer. Value for money would probably have to go to Russia. I doubt America would be willing to sell.

I reckon all this anti-foul business is a decoy. Your planning one of those fetish parties arn't you?

How much /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif sorry but that's twice the asking price ,



before anyone shoots me down for saying it , would you want to pay twice the asking price , the goggles are bloody good but they're only going up for a fiver , so just give me time to sort a few techie things and we start rolling , but don't pay a bloody tenner for five squids worth of kit when I've got boxes of them ,,,,,,,,,,,,, that's the chandlery way


sorry Kieth /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Yeah, I think 10 quid for the goggles are a bit of a rip off, too.
