True

Its 2020 and thats no longer seen as weird 🤣

Azad - wtf?

Who needs a man when I have one of these which is handy because of covid :p and I also do battle reenactment and collect swords. :)

Yeah but i aint looking for no kisses and hugs from weaponsandstuff93

Yeah the T1000 bit.

Yes

ok? lol

@@planemod8399 Ok

@@Vtari xD

That's a coincidence, I have some older videos but this is probably the easiest way to clean a gas mask, just in the sink with dish soap.

So did me

same as me, i got a new gp5

Glad you enjoy the video.

Weaponsandstuff93 I loved it

It will only damage really old masks, as long as it dries properly it will keep the mask in good condition.

As long as you don't try to clean the filters in water...

@@Weaponsandstuff93 hola amigo.. Una consulta: si esa mascara es nueva (recién llegada en su embalaje del fabricante) es necesario lavarla? (no pienso usar nunca su filtro, la mascara usare como disfraz)

​@@RadioactiveSaddam but how long can a filter last?

No worries

What were you doing with it?

@@graag5388 he's kia

@@Weaponsandstuff93 i have question for you can the Gas mask destroy by the water?

@@Ropucha9846 the filter will be destroyed, but the mask itself should be fine.

Glad you liked it.

That's the easiest way to clean them.

I don't know if I want to blow up, I quite like being in one piece.

Foamy snow

couchnigga me too lol

Nice picture with anomaly:)))))

@@Weaponsandstuff93 can I rub vaseline on the rubber of a gasmask to soften it I'm preserving a 1941 42 ish m1a2-1-1 noncombatant gasmask and the rubber was hard are cracked and vaseline is working so far

me too

Yeah this will work fine on an S6.

The Hungarian M76 gas mask? Personally I wouldn't leave that in the water very long because it has the canvas material on the outside, getting that too damp might cause damage to the mask, as the M76 is basically a reamke of the GM30 gas mask from WW2. Running it under the tap briefly and gently scrubbing the mask should be fine however.

Weaponsandstuff93 wow thanks you might have just saved my life👍👉

No worries, I might do other videos on how to clean certain masks in the future, if I think they need to be cleaned in a more gentle way.

Weaponsandstuff93 o ok that would be useful thanks again

Weaponsandstuff93 thats a great idea

Yeah that's talc

Cool

@@Weaponsandstuff93 how do you clean a Soviet Shms mask?

​@@trever_625 можешь водой, высохнет протираешь Хлоргексидином, заодно надёжная дезинфекция, некоторые моющие средства просто могу повредить резину

@@tankistsdivana Хорошо спасибо.

Cheers

Wouldn’t it rust?

@@Ryan-hf9sr not if you dry the metal parts afterwards

Glad it was useful.

Weaponsandstuff93 best part is its gonna be a S10 thats cleaned so that the mask in vid so it kinda makes it easier for me

+Sven Allinger Yeah just dry the metal afterwards so it doesn't rust, I might do a video on it at some point.

If you don’t wear it often and store it in a relatively clean area, you don’t need to clean it, you should only clean it after use or if it’s dirty.

Yeah you can take the mask apart in the exact same way. You may need to gently use pliers to remove the exhale cover if it doesn't move easily, just don't force anything. You might as well take the 40mm blanking plugs off when you clean it and just put them in the sink separate, that way water will get through the 40mm ports properly.

Lewis Arthur if you live in the U.S. and find a site with a CT 12 can you post a link because I’ve looked on eBay and many army surplus stores and I can only find a FM 12

William Rogers I live in England sorry, plus the CT 12, S10 and fm12 are British masks and have an export ban on them to America

Lewis Arthur Ok thanks anyway.

Glad you liked it.

i really enjoyed watching your videos!

Cool

All modern masks this should work fine with, obviously don't dunk the filters in water, if the mask is coated in certain materials I wouldn't really recommend it though.

You can't really paint masks, at least not stretchy rubber masks like the Soviet ones because the rubber stretches the paint wouldn't be even. Not sure if the paint might damage the rubber as well. Gas masks that are various colours are moulded to be those colours, so a dye if poured into the rubber when it is being made.

Yeah I know, I was considering all of these factors. There are some latex paints and primers for such jobs (for special effects artists who create latex and silicone masks etc.), that's why I'm asking. But I don't know, it will probably look like shit. Thanks for the reply man. Oh and another one, sorry. Do you think it's a health hazard if I just have the mask sitting on a self in my room? I mean is there any possibility that the mask is contaminated with anything from asbestos from the filter or who knows what? Although it looks like new (made in '84) and it was probably stored in a box somewhere. Thanks.

Είρων Δηκτικός you can just buy a black elastic gp5

The mask itself won't be hazardous, just don't use the filters. The masks and filters were supposedly made in different factories, so it's not like the masks themselves ever came into contact with asbestos unless you breath through the mask with an asbestos filter.

Dr breen's combine I found the grey one in a flea market. I didn't have to make an order from Eastern Europe or whatever.

Glad it helped

@@Weaponsandstuff93 man,im learning alot from your channel Thx much

Thanks.

Yeah the M50 uses proprietary filters.

Просто не заливай туда воду, если клапана исправны то туда ниче не попадет, но на всякий случай потом открой клапана и проверь, если есть вылей, и пусть посушится.

Not really other than trying rubber lube, you can only get dirt smells out of a mask, not the actual rubber smell.

You need to use a bit of force but it's designed to come off, once you've taken it off and put it back on a few times it tends to be firm enough not to fall off but quite easy to pull off, I think they are often hard to get off if they've not ever been taken off and have gunged up a bit inside.

Do you have to take you it off

do not worry it is just talcum powder

@@pigpanboom isn’t unsafe to inhale?

​@@trever_625 опасно конечно, но ты что, долбаёб тальком дышать?

+Slisorz No, taking the plastic cover off the S10 just makes it easier to clean, with the S6 I would close the chin tap first.

yeah he means old as in ww1/ww2 gas masks

Sounds like a plan.

I use wetwipes. is that bad

No there's nothing in the MCU that will break if you dunk it in water.

Cheers.

I'm not really sure to be honest, maybe put electrical tape over the connectors before washing them.

Pull harder, there's a tap you can put your thumb under.

In theory there is nothing dangerous in the VM40 mask itself, but I'm not sure if the VM40 would fir a modern 40mm filter properly. Also be careful because in my VM40 there is a weird fibre material around the filter intake that's crumbling, I don't think it's asbestos but inhaling it might be bad.

Weaponsandstuff93 thanks man I’m gonna buy one I will try it with a regular filter if it works I’ll definently tell you and maybe you can do a video on it or something and keep doing awesome videos there really good I really like the British ww2 civilian gas mask because of the flapper valve. I was really looking for a long time for a new replaceable filter but I couldn’t find one so I saw your video on the vm40 that was amazing the gas mask guy said it actually was possible to put a good filter on a vm40 but I’m gonna find out at Christmas also how should I store the aspesdis filter is it worth it or should I through it in the trash

Weaponsandstuff93 and it’s cloth around the filter intake I will probably try to take it out anyways probably is bad for your lounges

iiStealthWolf scisors

Surgical Scissors, but obviously be careful if trimming the mask, do it wrong and you break it.

Disassemble your mask and keep the voice diaphragm dry and everything else let it soak

Как хочешь, мыть не обязательно, можешь протереть Хлоргексидином, отличная дезинфекция, плюс немного смоет грязь.

Just dry the metal once you take it out the sink.

You can wash it with it on, there may just be dirt stuck under the cover.

Probably some sort of talc or could be dry rot potentially.

Some cosmetic changes may become noticeable and are expected during the normal aging process. White residue may appear and is caused by an FDA approved wax additive that is in the rubber by design. This wax was chosen because it is not harmful should it contact the user's skin. The wax affords the rubber the required protection it needs during expected product use. It is normal for this wax to come to the surface and can be cleaned by using MSA Confidence Plus (P/N 10009971). Rubber surface imperfections may be observed upon closer inspection of the mask and are typically caused by the white wax residue. These imperfections are also noticeable due to a "streaking" appearance where the wax does not come through the rubber. This rubber surface change is a result of the aggressive rubber primer used during the lens bonding process. It is required by the design to ensure a robust lens bond is made.

No, speech diaphragms are basically plastic discs, unless you have a mask with a really flimsy one it will be fine. If you're really worried about it, take the mask apart and take the disc out, wash everything else then clip it back together.

Thank you for the reply.

Did you ever find anything? What's wrong with your lenses?

+3 7 Nice and simple

Try cleaning it like this, if it doesn't help much sadly the rubber is probably on it's way out.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 Alright, Thanks.
