DIY, How to make your own face mask, for use while in public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two layers of tight-woven cotton provide substantial protection. An optional flannel or non-woven third inner layer provides substantially greater protection and is recommended if you are infected (and hopefully quarantined). These do NOT have N95 certification. Hair spray aerosol does not visibly pass through a 3-layer mask that includes non-woven fabric. Ensure a tight seal around the edges. Wash in soapy water or with laundry detergent, dry and reuse. Filtering capacity is lower if the mask is damp or wet.
