Nick, I wear the exact same respirator when glassing and a full face mask/respirator combo when sanding. Glass dust effects my eyes almost immediately and lasts for days afterwards. I had laugh when I read your post :)

"Some have more odor than others, for example West Systems smells quite strongly."

I have never used anything but West on boats and planes for years and I am always tempted to forget the respirator when laying glass as I detect absolutely no oder at all. Last I knew my "smeller" was functioning OK.
Different strokes for different folks . . . . . :)
