@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @80columns@indieweb.social The exposed filter look of a CR Box can be countered by: getting open weave fabric, burlap, or speaker cloth; adding velcro strips to each end; and wrapping it around the filter area to secure back on itself - kinda like wrapping a towel around your body. There are various ways of clipping or velcro-ing the edges to keep it in place. Also, the previously mentioned CleanAirKits.com is a good source for more aesthetic options. Stick to Filtrete filters either way, though.

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @80columns@indieweb.social To your respirator question, I maintain the Masking Reference Doc at https://texanalysis.com where you can find a size-sorted list of high-performing, disposable respirators. There's also a Sourcing section with non-affiliate links to the best pricing as of the latest revision date. I run a monthly masking webinar/Q&A for anyone to join, and the next one happens to be tomorrow afternoon, July 18th, at 5:30pm Central. Here's my post about it: https://kind.social/@Texan_Reverend/116935361099717026

@Texan_Reverend@kind.social @80columns@indieweb.social thank you both! I'm ordering a house full of kits from cleanairkits.com, which is the perfect price/efficacy/effort balance for me. Really appreciate the help!
