And yeah, I know that glue sniffing went out long ago, when the (late lamented) Ramones were teenagers, because the formulas of that stuff were all modified to make the stuff different and non-euphoria-inducing and so on ... but harmless? No chance. Whatever the petrochemical compound might be, I suggest reading the warnings on the label and looking up the MSDS for it and reading available web pages about adverse health effects of inhaling its fumes, before using it on a mask or a filter or a hose or a humidifier.
orange scented sniff proof model glue which probably wasn't sniff proof

Sorry to play moderator, but wasn't that intended for this thread instead?
About the purpose of the filter, I think you're probably right.
I only intentionally posted on other thread due to mention of filter, if memory serves well today. But it more appropriately belongs here, but again it was intentional.
