Wear a protective respirator.
Wear a protective respirator equipped with p100 filters when painting in an enclosed area without good ventilation. Change the filters after no more than three hours of painting. Know which materials provide adequate protection, or you could end up feeling sick and light headed.
Instructions
1. Paint outdoors when possible. Open windows and doors to increase ventilation if you're painting an interior surface.
2. Do not paint when humidity levels are higher than 50 percent or paint fumes will linger in the air for longer periods.
3.Diehard do-it-yourselfers love the thought of a home improvement project involving paint. Unfortunately, overwhelming fumes often turn painting projects into literal headaches. Before you embark on any type of project involving paint, learn the proper way to reduce noxious fumes. Take special measures to protect your lungs if you are working with particular types of paint under specific circumstances.
