In some of the practical classes, like painting, sculpture and welding, students may be exposed to harmful particles or gases. Currently there isn&#8217;t a really practical solution. Professional respirators are too big and heavy and \u00a0expensive as well for the students. The typical solution is surgical mask, which is not sufficiently protective. We shared how other artists and craftsmen had successfully used Totobobo mask to protect themselves during their work. We also demonstrated how the mask can be <a href=\"http:\/\/totobobo.com\/demo.html\">customised to fit different face sizes<\/a> of the students. They were clearly impressed by the flexibility of Totobobo and invited us for another presentation to their students.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1792\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/totobobo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/earloop.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1792\" src=\"http:\/\/totobobo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/earloop.webp\" alt=\"Two types of Totobobo- Original adjustable strap and earloop \" title=\"Two types of Totobobo mask\" width=\"480\" height=\"341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1792\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two types of Totobobo- Original adjustable strap and earloop <\/p><\/div>\n<p>We brought two types of Totobobo to the school: original and earloop.

We were extremely\u00a0embarrassed\u00a0and overwhelmed because we dedicate tremendous efforts to keep a good quality standard. After inspection, it was discovered that the strap survives the stretch, but the end connector gave way. <\/p>\n<p>We decided to recall all the earloop models and is in the process contacting those affected customers. The production of the earloop model had been stopped until a solution for the problem is identified. <\/p>\n<p>Related article:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/totobobo.com\/blog\/maad-fun-with-totobobo-mask\/\">MAAD fun with Totobobo mask<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we had a fruitful meeting with some of the staff in Lasalle-Sia College of the Arts.
