    NON disposable bunny suits?

    Hi,

    I'm on disposable bunny suit #2 and I'm already wanting out of the trash cycle. I know finishing and building is already a high trash producer / environmentally unfriendly activity, but was wondering if anyone used suits that last longer (maybe a year?) and how you deal with them.. never clean? clean at your house washer / dryer? vacuum off from time to time, etc

    Thanks much,

    Maybe I'm missing something but what about good old coveralls?
    When I need to do certain tasks that require that full body level of protection/coverage I wear coveralls.

    Just a suggestion

    What are you doing, Andrew, that requires a full suit? Spraying 2K products, like GF's conversion varnish, is about the only thing I can think of in the woodworking world. For non post catalyzed finishes, which includes TC's EM-8000CV, I don't see a need.

    That was my first thought but coveralls might be too hot during the summer in warmer areas.

    Several non-disposable ones available on Amazon.

    Another potential option is to keep a set of clean clothes in your shop, and change into them when needed.

    And keep the dogs out of your shop.

    Yeah, I didn't know if anyone here had personal opinions on what is available. The dogs aren't in the shop. They just happen to require lots of pets in the morning.
