LG, good info. I see the homemade cloth masks everywhere and have been really wondering Some of the cloth mask users also have a filter inside of the cloth mask.

I will say, wearing the N95 surgical masks for any extended time gets warm around the mouth but the protection barrier is worth the inconvenience.

As a Respiratory Therapist, I wish everyone would spend a little time reading and understanding this..... LG, since youre a Respiratory Therapist I would think you could offer a valuable opinion on the mask. Ive looked at the chart and what I take from it doesn't match anything ive been hearing. Its a very hot topic right now so how about a brief summary....
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-8636-225171-masks.jpeg) Wear one of these all day long. Have to wear it on my way out of the hospital everyday so as long as it is not contaminated I keep it. Have heard that 30 mins in the oven at low temp also "reactivates" them.

In cloth masks it is about layers because of the porosity of the fabric. The proposed way to make a cloth mask from a bandana or T-shirt is 8-16 layers. Depends on how it is folded. There are a lot of people making and selling masks. Most are to be fashionable and I doubt their effectiveness.

Stick a paper towel inside of the cloth mask, that should upgrade the effectiveness.

I've been to Walmart and HEB several times and never saw more than a couple of mask. Making a little loop today without a mask. Don't remember sneezing or coughing in public.

Stick a paper towel inside of the cloth mask, that should upgrade the effectiveness. Just use a feminine pad.. Better than a paper towel and if you get the stick back ones you don’t need to worry about those pesky bands around the ears. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-8734-225181-635ad9d3_75cf_41eb_8d1a_1602eef950cf.jpeg)
