FOR SALE...Small full face quattro..Fake out.
It worked really well. I took off all the silicone and then put the plastic in the dishwasher for a short cycle with no detergent.
I am now doing the same with the humidifier water holder thingie.

Just don't cook your fish at the same time as you wash your fask all will be fine right?

Lucky guess!!

I did that once actually to shock and get a giggle out of my kids. They all thought I had gone batshit crazy. It was kinda funny.

That is what makes life fun. I used to cook meals on steam leaks where I worked. I was doing atkins and lost tons of weight. They thought it was the steam.
I have also used the heat from my truck engine to cook hamburger patties. Just set it on the manifold and drive a hundred miles.

I found that it is a good idea to wrap hamburger patties in alumininum foil when cooking them on an engine manifold. The foil wrap holds the patty together and reduces the mess in the engine compartment.

I would think that it would also lower the chance of having things added to it that you didn't want.

I've experimented with old masks and found them nearly indestructible. I washed a FF Quatro in the dishwasher with silicone attached and it came out OK. The silicone was cloudy looking but a normal daily wash made it clear again. I've even scrubbed the silicone with acetate and scrub pad, looked fine. I thought that would take a tad off the surface and make it as new again but the new doesn't return.

Nightly I scrub the silicone with a diluted liquid dishwasher solution twice - and my face mask area likewise. I find the mask seal improves after 2-3 weeks and lasts a couple months before the seal begins to degrade. Masks are tough stuff so don't be afraid.

Is this like those old Timex watch commecials? Next thing you will be doing is to run over your mask with a bulldozer.

I knew right away, Tip; If you put the vegies on the top rack and fish on the bottom the juices from the vegies will add flavor to the fish. New wave poacher.

I wouldnt be in any hurry to do it with the ComfortFull2. I cleaned it in a hotel room with hot water and I guess the plastic expanded enough that the hose connector piece fell out and after calling Respironics 3 times, the morons said forget it-- Buy a new one. Then I realized how cheaply make Respironics masks were. I've washed my at home mask (Quattro) every day for about a year in the same hot water and it's still fine.
I expect the new Respironocs mask everyone is goo-goo eyes over will be just as cheaply made
