I give you the easy answer right here in this video.]]>

If you are like I was when I first started out cosplaying with EVA foam, everyone was telling me I had to get a respirator to protect myself from the fumes of contact cement but no one would ever say what kind of respirator would work or what type of cartridge I would need to protect myself from contact cement and it's fumes. Luckily after a lot of digging and a little bit of luck I was able to figure it out and so now I want to save you all the time and effort I had to do and just tell you exactly what type of respirator and filters to get to protect yourself from the fumes of contact cement and spraypaint. :)
