I’d listen to Chris’s advice as he’s the professional painter
But if you really want to know the answers for PPE is to read the safety data sheets for that product. It will tell you what you need.
I’ve always seen fresh air supplied mask to be required when using/spraying ISO’s. You can easily rig one up using an oil free air compressor and a hood.
Only thing on the line is your health and level of risk you want to take. That’s up to you to decide.

I use the organic vapor cartridges when I'm spraying outdoors or using aerosol paint in an enclosed space. I was willing to pay $500 for a compressor, $500 for an Iwata gun, $500 for paint and $500 for sandpaper so spending $500 for a Breathecool II supplied air system with a full face mask seemed like a no-brainer (an oxygen concentrator to treat damaged lungs costs $2,000 - $3,000). The hose for the Breathecool system has garden hose threads so I have a pipe with garden hose fittings going through the wall of the garage. I'm breathing the air from ten feet away from the garage and could easily make that even further away.

Can you use an expandable garden hose with that or do you have to have a rigid hose?
Edit: Or this hose
Could you elaborate on this system, like with pictures of the plumbing from the vacuum to the hood?i have a large shop vac that feeds my hood . when it's hot i fill it with ice

Do you have to have any noise or air filters in between? Do you think this would work with a face mask instead of a hood?

I used a clear 1-inch vinyl hose from the fitting outside the garage to the filter/blower.

maybe this a dumb question, but..........how long will the cartridges and or new masks remain use full sealed in the bag? im speaking of a new one never opened.

thanks Jim. just wanted to clarify that. i understand they will absorb if not in the sealed bag. it just struck me, we dont know how long they have been on a shelf when we buy them.
