I thought I was the only one that was silly enough to sand without a mask!!!!

i too love the smell of bondo, fresh paint, thinners...well the smell of a body shop...it gets me excited

yes the respirator when spraying.  that stuff will mess you up later in life.  but I'm sure the dust really isnt any better for ya.
even welding smoke can kill ya .   have you ever welded on your galvanized rocker panels?  did you get a kinda sweet taste in your mouth and get a headache and a sick feeling ?   galvanized welding smoke is a type of cyanide.
