I have had similar effects when I have been too lazy to wear my mask. I need
to wear mine whenever I am in the garage within 24 hours of doing a layup.
Check that you always get a good seal between the mask and your face. After
I have been wearing mine for 30 mins I have a neat red imprint line around
my face. The most difficult area to seal is around the nose. The bigger your
conk the worse it gets. I am not implying anything by the way. :-)
At the risk of stating the obvious, make sure you are using the right
filter(s). I have 2 sets one for fine dust and one for nasty chemicals.
Hope this helps

> > Another question to the group: I have read about becoming sensitive to
epoxy and fiberglass. I have been working my project now for about 5 months
and for the last 3 weeks have been getting headaches at about 4 AM every
night after I work on the airplane. I have always been prone to this from
various chemicals and this is the same thing. I have experimented with
staying away from the airplane and it only occurs after working on it. I
think I have accumulated a fair amount of fumes in the garage and since
there is cold weather out, I have not opened things up as I should have. I
wear a respirator mask, but only when actively sanding and laying up glass,
etc.
