Bob - Good idea or old trick doesnąt matter sure does help. I use a
variation of this trick for my supply air mask for sand blasting and
painting. I take a 50ą garden hose and put it in a trash can full of water
and ice then feed it into the mask and hood. Sure makes working out in the
sun sand blasting a lot more comfortable.
If you have never tried a supply air mask for painting or working in a dusty
shop you are in for a treat. It is really nice to work with spray paint and
not even be able to smell it. I put the air pump out side the shop up wind
and then work away with a nice cool fresh air supply.
