Respirator for Oxalic Acid and Formic Acid Varroa Mite Treatments

Information on procedures and types of Respirators and Cartridges to use for Oxalic Acid and Formic Acid Varroa Mite treatments. Oxalic acid vaporization is an organic mite treatment and in the end is considered non toxic but it is still dangerous when being applied. John and Jesse volunteered to help get the info out.
Video correction at 3:20, Cartridge should be 60921 and 60923 as said in the video.

Bob this was a great video!! I am a fellow beekeeper and have been in the chemical industry for 20 years. This was top notch information on respirator use, care and storage. If I may add just a couple things for viewers:
1. Washing with mild soapy water and air drying is spot on. I must stress DO NOT use cleaning/disinfecting solvents such as isopropyl alcohol. These solvents will attack and degrade the sealing surface materials. There are disinfecting wipes and such for respirators, but wash and dry is just fine. Also, remove cartridges before washing the respirator....yes this has escaped people in past years.
2. Perfect explanation on "clean" areas to hang up for air drying. NOTE: These organic cartridges will absorb impurities from the open air they are exposed to. After air drying store the respirator and cartridges, at least the cartridges, in a gallon ziplock bag. This will ensure the life span of the cartridges for use.
