Cutting up face mask for filter on grain jars.
    #19225314 - 12/04/13 04:19 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hi I hope I'm posting this in the right section.

My husband can get free disposable face masks from his cabinetmakers job,  they are rated FFP2 (I think in some countries the equivalent rating is n95).

He can't remember the brand right now so I won't be able to search for specs until he brings some home.

But I'm wondering if anyone has cut up a mask before to use as a filter disk.

You don't know what the heat rating of the face masks are.  Many materials change shape when heated, and this can open up the pore size, allowing contaminants to enter.  I suggest using tested and proved materials until you get your feet on the ground in your new hobby.
