Basically I need to no what sort of mask is needed when useing xylene to thin zinc phosphate primer.
I've read up on the use of xylene thinner and it don't sound good death being the worst.
I used abit on a rag without mask for removing silicone and I got a blinding headache which I've never experienced from standard thinners or 2 k thinners.
I'm thinking about chucking it getting rid safely as I don't want to kill myself useing the stuff just call it bad judgement.

The product safety data sheet should confirm what mask rating should be used. Have you had a look ? Hope your headaches cleared up.

Air fed only I would imagine, Xylene is extremely toxic. Using Xylene carb cleaner even outside has had me reeling in the past.
