You'd think it was a dumb question, but I find myself wanting to ask it every time I read these forums. Any decent hearth shop should have rockwool in stock

Please elaborate on what you mean by a "regular paint mask". I have some 3M respirators bought at pro paint stores. They have replaceable cartridges (2) and they do seal well to the face. They have seemed pretty effective at filtering pretty small stuff like nasty solvent fumes, etc. Surely these would catch any particulate from rock wool? They have seemed pretty effective doing work in attics for extended periods.Sisu said:Don't forget to use a large serrated kitchen/bread knife to cut the batts into shape. A regular knife will just tear it. Ditto with Brother Bart on the mask, just make sure it is a N95 or half-mask with P100 filters. A regular paint mask doesn't do anything other than make you think you are protected. They don't filter out small particulate nor do they form a proper seal around the face.

Are you talking about those skimpy little ribbed, clothlike things like we see on surgical team members? Yeah, those wouldn't stop particulate, and no, they don't seal worth a darn.
