: I understand the danger from exposure to lacquer thinner. But

: bvs

i just did a quick google search out of interesti to quantify the risk/ hazard as per your query. I use a respirator for big sanding jobs that involve epoxy and a ros. Otherwise, i use a p3 grade mask which is suitable for vapours fumes and 99% of dust for wood sanding and epoxy application.
Hope your repair goes well.
