All the best to you and your crew, Mr. Grant. Can't wait to put all this behind us.
Best mask tutorial seen on UA-cam since Covid19 thanks a lot and stay safe 💐💐💐
Ppl have LOTS to say as usual...but know what!! THANK YOU FOR HELPING!!!! And THAT is the point!!! Thank you sir for helping inform us and being ACTIVE in this time we all are affected by!!!
The best DYI tutorial so far...
Liquid easy sew work???
Parabéns pela criatividade, muito útil em tempos de covid-19. Um abraço do Brasil.
excellent idea SR. you guys always do quality work! love you guys. thanks for sharing!
This is nice and all but... All anyone really needs is: Any page protector that you can find in some old notebook you find around the house. Some duct tape, either folks it over the top edge of the page protector on stick two sticky sides together, trapping the plastic in between. Make the duct tape long enough to wrap around your head with a little overlap. Staple rubber bands to the duct tape such that it will pull the duct-tape head-band tight enough to stay on. Leave in sun for several hours to disinfect.
Just thought about doing this today for my ICU. Awesome to know there's a tutorial on this! Thank you!
Hi! If you have plastic sheets you can make this one easily too. ua-cam.com/video/H8K37j0JZ6U/v-deo.html

Gracias ,muy buena idea, hice uno con lo q tenia en casa, le puse sesgo para anudar en la cabeza en una mica de cuadernos,saludos de Lima Perú.
También soy de Perú, podrías hacer un video o compartir que materiales usaste?
Sailrite videos are the best but we need the face mask one. I was greatly disturbing having to find one at NY Times and not at sailrite. You guys are the best!!
We have been doing some major research on what type of materials are best for face masks and have finally come to a conclusion. The melt blow filter material which is used as the internal filter and is approved by the FDA is on the way and we will have tons of spun bonded polyurethane fabric as well for the inside and outside of the face mask. As soon as all the materials arrive we plan on making a video.
Thank you, Sailrite!
You need to add written instructions for the beginning part of the video where you give the size to make the sheild. It would be most helpful. I believe the design is the best I have seen yet!!!!!

Thank you for doing this
This tutorial is so helpful thank u very much i appreciate it thank u😁
No problem 😊
Great idea!!!
Big pizza and cereal boxes work well for me. Double-sided carpet tape also can be useful.
Will you guys be doing a video on how to make the Olson masks? Just curious, as I am making some now, and had to revert to my old sewing machine because it kept bunching up in the corners with the thin fabric. I know it’s got to be a matter of my tension setting or something, but haven’t figured it out yet, as I am new to having a Sailrite. I love it for heavy fabrics, but am having issues with the cotton fabrics, so was hoping for a video on that type of mask, so I can possibly see what exactly needs adjusted. I’ll re-review your other videos on the tension setting in the meantime however, as they are very helpful, as is this video!! Thanks so much!
Thank you..thank you. People are now gouging the prices on these since we don't know if they will be mandatory. I will be able to now make 100 for those who can't afford it, thanks to you.
Our factory worked hard for so many hours every day to make face shield. But we do feel happy rather than tired because we know the face shield will help a lot. Hope these can get to you soon my dear friends. Let's get through this hard time together.
Well said
I use one the odd time for the angle grinder at work.. think that's the only thing it's good for.. I see enough people driving alone in the car wearing a mask and laugh at that.. seeing someone wear one of these I'd probably burst out laughing
Thanks Sailrite! One question ...with the top sealed off by the foam, do you not get some fogging on the mask? I had made something similar a week ago and found I needed to vent the top to avoid that since breath vapor rises like steam and coats the mask. Really showed up outside where it is still below freezing here..
Yes, you can get some fogging, but even with venting that can happen on most masks. Having the open bottom and sides reduces the fogging, but it still can happen.
Sailrite: it happens when you go from warm to hot or hot to cold. So, you have to wait a moment or maybe wipe it off on the inside with a clean towelette. Then it’s harder to read with it on. But I felt safer. A lot of non believers around me. A lot of disgusted people but no one tried to pull it off, which is what I was afraid of.
I wipe mine down with disinfectant and let it dry. I reuse it.
This is a greatest idea. The Shield is mounted to a Head Band! You guys are the best. So the shield is based on a 15" straight line of clear bendable vinyl with velcrow extenders. Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just checked my old Binder. The plastic sheet covers are for 8 x 11. Now that is a little small, but it would certainly work for a child!
Do they make plastic covers in Legal Size?
Thank you
i’m 16 and i do this for one of my friends dads bc he works for hospitals and i get $15 an hour haha
Keep it up! Good job.
ua-cam.com/video/cGblHmpvXyA/v-deo.html is my video that also makes a face shield
Lordt.. next tutorial How to sew a Bubble to live in
People are making these to donate to hospitals that are dangerously short of PPE.
Holy Betsy Ross Batman..you really had me hooked until you brought the damn sewing machine in the picture.. I thought this was going to be a breeze
Right? Lol he left that out of "what you will need"
Just use foam with adhesive
Nice!
Muy buena idea
¡¡¡Gracias!!!
Nice 👍
The ones issued to us in our hospital is of way lower quality and we reuse them over and over until it's no longer functional. I say low quality because when we got it brand new the band popped off while wearing it. The elastic was attached with a very narrow strip of double sided tape.
Very nice tutorial. Question: Can a domestic machine handle working with the foam or is that better used with an industrial machine?
Lengthening the stich would help. Try it on some smaller pieces first. Probably work just fine. My old Singer 201-2 handles two layers of Cordura 1000D with 1/4 closed cell foam sandwiched between.
It may be difficult for a home sewing machine to sew into the sew foam. It would be better if you had a walking foot sewing machine.
@@stoneblue1795 Thank you, I'll be trying that with the longer stitches. Maybe press the foam down with my finger before it gets to the presser foot too.
@@SailriteDIY I like your suggestion for the walking foot too. Thank you.
@@SailriteDIY Would zig zag not work better than straight stitch? Is this really just a disposable piece?
👍👍👍
Should i wear face mask while wearing this shield?
YES
Yes
LOL I have a version too let me know what you think ua-cam.com/video/cGblHmpvXyA/v-deo.html
Could have added cm to video, would have been easy, thanks for the video still.
Good Video SailRite Excellent Contribution at this time in the World
Thanks and stay safe!
The company i work for (awning company) has an 8' x 28' automated Carlson cutting table that i operate, with full staff (which we are not right now) I think we could cut and sew hundreds a day. (i could easily cut material for thousands a day, but sewing would take longer) Trying to figure out how to go about getting this figured out in terms of supply and demand from home while i'm technically "unemployed" and logging into email remotely is proving challenging. Who exactly do we contact to get going on this ?
Uh maybe start with ur boss?
Yes hospitals are running low on everything faceshields, masks, gown and gloves are top priority
ua-cam.com/video/H8K37j0JZ6U/v-deo.html
I liked your video however you gave measurements of the ruler? you did not give measurements of how long the elastic,hook & loop shouldn't be cut to . we guess? Thank you very much . Peace, Health and safety to you and yours God Bless the USA
Cut the 2" Elastic to 6 inches each. Cut the hook and loop to 3 inches each. Here are written instructions: www.sailrite.com/how-to-sew-face-mask-shield
@@SailriteDIY Thank you so much. 🙏🏼🌹 Bless you and your families. 🙏🏼 I pray this horrible horrible virus is gone soon. And our nation recovers. And learns lessons from being so ill-prepared.
Thank you again ☺️
Wtfffff 1 time use? Nah bruh too much work for that! My family works EVERY.DAY
It's only one time use due to the foam and all other materials. The shield its self should be reusable to get cleaned with Lysol/disinfectant. Just need alternative design that uses no foam
Are u donating them to hospitals?
😍
You can get these products or similar products at a Dollar store and you don’t need to worry about buying it from his suggestions.
Not everyone has a sewing machine. The clear film seems too lightweight. If a firmer clear plastic was used it would then be a matter of cleaning it with alcohol after being out in the world and its suspect inhabitants. But the general instructions are a good start.
where can you buy the materials to make the face shield?
Sailrite.com
DOES THE SHIELD HAVE TO BE DISPOSABLE? ESPECIALLY WHEN NOT W/ DIRECT PATIENT CONTACT...
No, I would clean myself and reuse it.
will 4 mil work or is that too flimsy?
4 mil will work fine.
Anyone know what gauge of vinyl would be appropriate to use?
he says what he is using is 5 mil
@@JudsonCook unfortunately vinyl is usually measure in gauge, not mm. But I did some digging, on the Sailrite website it says the film he's using is 0.005 inches thick. Gauge to mm conversion apparently changes based on what material you're talking about, so I couldn't find a direct conversion, but I did discover that 20 gauge vinyl is 0.02 inches thick, so I'm gonna use that!
Why don't you sell the finished products?
ua-cam.com/video/cGblHmpvXyA/v-deo.html is my video that also makes a face shield I sell them too!
I have some 40 mil clear. Can I use that?
Yes, that will work. It is just very thick.
Any way we can take an elastic stretchy material under the shield with a filter on the bottom so the shield can surround you and the filter instead will be on the elastic neck part of the device instead of directly on your face? I have an idea that will work. Make sure elastic is not too tight to choke you with flexible material. Basically no way for any oxygen to get through but through the neck area that is filtered. So the shield goes 360 degrees around the head and the elastic part touches the neck and has a filter where the elastic isn't. Just like the top you stitch it on. The other way i bet this will work is with some gorilla glue or epoxy if you don't know how to sew. Let it dry before you use it. In a way it will grip like one of those choker necklaces. Air can still get through the mask around the bottom of the mask right above the elastic material. You may want to use an anti fogging material. i.imgur.com/V74QJag.png This is a bad drawing of my idea.
Changed idea slightly. Where the blue is from bottom of ear use your fabric you can breath through. This will be attached to the shield. You can do the same thing from bottom of shield under the chin attached to your neck band or choker type necklace. The only way air will get through is through your breathable fabric filter. It will still flex by crinkling a little bit. The shield itself is a stiffer plastic. You may want this to angle slightly so there is room for air to go through the fabric filter and not close shut on you. The last thing make sure it doesn't fog up. You are now free to move head like normal. Eyes, nose, and mouth and ears are now protected. Materials are up to use to decide. I was thinking of a stiff bag material like an aldies bag for the back section to bottom of ear attached to shield there. The front of the neck was where i wanted to put the breathable filter and i needed flex so we can turn our heads like normal and still look up and down.
yes.
I'm legally blind and I use a power chair. I as well am on a very low fixed income. It would be nice to have a face mask that is designed to be ReUsed. At the same time I have a very Low Immune System and because of my eye vision I usually wear a base ball cap. If there was a face shield that could either accommodate a base ball cap or have a Bill that can help you when you are out and about and you are wearing your mask underneath it. At the same time I don't have a sowing machine and it would be nice to know how to make a reUsable face shield that I don't need a sowing machine? I know if one is made the right way it can be cleaned properly and still stop things like Rain and other Wet droplets from destroying your mask below.
What about for people that are not docters. You can make one with a hat so it slips on the top of the hat and goes all around your head and this gives your face some more space from the plastic. Make sure the plastic is at least two feet long down your face.
How much mm of film is used for face shield mask
A 52 inch x 360 inch sheet of film can make 144 masks. See this blog for more info: www.sailrite.com/how-to-sew-face-mask-shield
What is nylon loop
Achal Jain Velcro. Hook & loop strips.
Is this anti-fog?
No, it might fog up slightly.
Great video but the monofilm is OUT OF STOCK 🤦♂️
We have more and it will be up on our website very soon.
Sailrite thank you very much!
@@SailriteDIY What is the difference between 4, 5 and 7 mil?
@@RiesgoHumano 7mil is thicker, while 4mil is thinner

Why make a long video when you could have done it for 3 minutes tops! Tsk tsk
To teach people new to this.
Okay Karen
Show us how to make a face mask.
Andrea Schinnerling have you not seen a face mask before?
cut a rectangle large enough to cover your face and pleat 3 times (at least). Evenly space the pleats. fold & sew the raw edges over cleanly. cut 2 elastic strings. sew one elastic on the top & bottom left. sew the other elastic at the top & bottom right.
obviously, you’ll want to use a tightly knitted fabric.
nifty just uploaded a face mask tutorial -> ua-cam.com/video/RRofKRr5_JM/v-deo.html
Claire Conover I was hoping to see a more complex mask, something like the N 95
Andrea Schinnerling I don’t think anyone’s going to be able to give you a diy for that.
that one’s molded on specialized equipment. pressing store bought fabrics over a mold would likely stretch & loosen the knit.
Claire Conover I can still ask, cant I? Plus you can’t be sure if they would or not be able to do a DIY.
N95 is about the worst mask available. Its equivalent or MAYBE a step up from bandana.
Man you gota keep these videos under 3 min! Useful but so boring.
