  • Wear an NIOSH approved respirator...SILICOSIS concrete dust contains silica which lodges deeply in your lungs and is never expelled. The lung tissue scars around it, sequestering it for the remainder of your life. Don't be cheap with your health. THINK

  • Thanks for the video

  • Yeah, should have a respirator. Not perfect, but the whole video moves in the direction of,

    "get off your butt and start doing your project" instead of looking for two hundred more

    "how to" videos everyday on the best way to do it. I know what it's like to make several trips

    to HD and weeks later, new tools and materials still waiting for me to just "DO IT".

  • ppe ftw!

  • This is to loud for what I have to do. I need to do a covert operation and this noise would ruin it.

  • Epic failure for not wearing a respirator! Until it's fully mixed, a respirator should be worn. If you wonder how to talk into the mic while wearing a respirator, that's what voice overs is for :)

  • TRY NOT TO BREATHE THE DUST!!!!WHO DID THE BLOCK WORK IN BK GROUND!!IT LOOKS LIKE HMP STRANGEWAYS EXERCISE YARD!!

  • Something is wrong. Nobody talks about concrete when its The Star of our World.
