THREAD: HOW TO MACGYVER A NO-SEW N95 TYPE MASK
Last month I decided to research a way to make an inexpensive no-sew mask that is as close to an N95 as possible without having to buy medical grade material. And I found a way.
It’s via my own personal HVAC filter— from 3M Healthy Living Air Filters I get at Target. It is not fiberglass based like some HEPA and vacuum bags. It is polypropylene electrostatic based. You can get it shipped to you. I needed a refill anyway so it’s been sitting here.
When I found out someone I loved was using a bandana and it only filters 18% I had enough. I dug in... and made a picture tutorial for anyone who needs it. I can’t guarantee anything, I’m a TV writer not a virologist. But it’s got to be better than a bandana.
