Some of you may blast outdoors, and ran acrosst the problem of needing a hood, to protect your face. If you have a welding helmet already, its easy to remove the colored lense(keep in the clear ones) and just tape a bath towel around the back edges. Its cheap and works better than some of the fancy store bought ones. I have one of the fancy ones too, but it always fogs up inside, and you can't see.

I do the same thing, only I cut a piece of glass to replace the lens and I ripped up a old sheet. I made a air supply with a bathroom fan a ABS adpt. and a central vac hose. The helmet doesn't fog up and it help keep mask clean. Small world. Jeff

No the hose is about 40ft and I put a flat air filter from my wife's car on top.
