Kent Blair demonstrates PPE selection for boat shop work involving old coatings, strippers, and sanding. The core recommendation is to avoid creating dust in the first place — using gel stripper and a scraper rather than power tools where possible, then disposing of collected material at a local hazmat or recycling center.1:19

For eye protection, Blair uses DeWalt "concealer" goggles with a soft rubber seal, side vents, and enough interior space to fit reading glasses underneath.1:50 Ear protection is foam earplugs clipped to the goggle strap.2:59 For close-up detail work, he uses safety glasses with a 1.25-diopter bifocal insert.3:32

Respirator selection gets the most attention. Blair's primary mask is a 3M P100, which filters 100 percent of oily vapors; he stores used filters in a sealed Ziploc bag between sessions.4:35 N95 masks with an exhale valve suit wood sanding but not oily chemical work.5:08 He demonstrates the fit-check technique — covering the intake valves and inhaling to confirm the mask seals against the face — drawn from his Marine Corps gas-mask training.6:38 He also notes that working outdoors with drop cloths under the work area reduces both exposure and contamination of surrounding property.7:58
