Re: Using surgical Masks as a GE Filter in Jars [Re: spacechildo]

Hey,

I have a question to lids with polyfil filters.

After using the jars I clean them out and so I also wash the lids with water. Is it bad for the polyfil filter to get soaked by water or can I just dry them without any problem?

You can wash and dry polyfill. It is hydrophobic Polyethylene fiber. Make sure they are really dry before you use them again.

Yes it's them.

They're a bit pricey so i found them elsewhere afterwards.

those are proper sfd's mate :thumbup:
just make sure you dont buy the paper thin sfd stuff.. I wouldn't trust them to last more than a few runs.
so if you did, and you start running into problems, dont get frustrated but try and replace your filters instead!

:whathesaid:
I tried to use very thin .22 membrane filters with limited success. Even in the first run.

Tyvek is known as causing some problems. Furthermore it's an American product, we in Europe don't have it. Surgical mascs can be bought in every country that has hospitals :laugh:






Lol, it's perfectly possible to find tyvek in Europe.....It's even easy i would say.
It costs around 5€ per meter if you buy it at a Kite shop
You can find it in paint suits exactly like in america as well
And certainly in a lot of other products

Yeah i figured.
No thin filters. I think they're thicker actually.
Thanks your the tips though.
