No fortunately I don't need breathing support under normal conditions. Fingers crossed, considering how many people have found themselves in that situation in the last two years.
The turpentine and oil based paints are the sort of things which have "use in a well ventilated area" on the label. They aren't as bad as the stuff which really kills brain cells like paint strippers. If I'm only doing little of it and have windows open it doesn't seem too bad. But if I'm applying it for hours, even with windows open it gets thick. This time of year when I don't want to open all the windows up it is really bad. Hence the hood.
