DIY: Use Paper Cup to Make High Performance N95-like Respirator

Make a respirator (mask) using just a paper cup, Press and Seal, soft foam, glue, a rubber band, and an air conditioner filter. The filter is rated to perform as well as N95. Make it a tight fit with good quality straps. Cost for 250 respirators = $286 ($1.14 per respirator) THE 4-1/2 minute video on my channel, "Quick Easy N95-like Repirator (Mask) From a Paper Cup -- DIY" shows a sped up version for making this respirator:    • Quick Easy N95-like Repirator (Mask) From ...   Supplies to make respirators: 1.

Elastic strap – Dritz 1/4:” soft stretch elastic https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-Stretch-... 5. Glad Press’N Seal https://www.amazon.com/Glad-Pressn-Se... 6. Rubber bands, glue, stapler Instructions for disassembly of MERV16 filter: The instructions will differ depending on the filter your purchase, but in general, carefully cut away cardboard frame. The internal wire frame or plastic frame needs to be cut free with diagonal wire cutters. If these internal supports or the outer cardboard frame are glued to the filter paper, then gently separate with your fingers, trying not to tear the filter. Wear gloves, or the microfibers will end up in your hands and irritate them. Single layer of MERV 16 filter can be used for each respirator. I chose to double them up and use double ply (2 disks per respirator), with the micofiber side trapped on the inside.
