So... what if you took two layers of t-shirt cotton, and in between them you placed a section of furnace filter. I was wondering about that the other day when I replaced our filter; I use the more-expensive allergen-removing filters.
Debbie ordered some homemade cloth masks online; I may try a wire reinforcement as you suggest. I have some safety wire (stainless steel, aircraft type, not sure of the gauge) and I bet if I twisted two or three strands together it might be the right stiffness.
Delighted to see you post, by the way! (Maybe we should figure out how to play telescrabble?)
I have a couple of N95 masks in my toolbox, leftover from hiking in forest fires and doing woodworking projects, but we're basically keeping those aside as our in-case-we-need-to-go-to-the-ER masks.
But in the real world, a layer of t-shirt is a lot better than nothing!
