In general if you can get a respirator or ~~at least an n95 mask if you still have them from covid~~(apparently that doesnt work); also make tries on an old book before going on the good one, at least if you mess up it isn't another hole punched in your wallet

A respirator with an organic vapor trap will work, but an N95 will do essentially nothing for chemical vapors besides give you a false sense of safety.

If you have nothing, do your work outside and don't work with your face directly over areas with the toluene.
