I realize it is a longshot, but you never know. I use an older airstream AS400 PAPR when turning and am in need of some of the face seals that go under the chin below the mask. If you have some I would happily buy them from you as I can’t find any online.IMG_3411.jpegIMG_3410.jpegIMG_3412.jpeg
 
It seems like someone who’s handy with a sewing machine could make a pattern from your existing face seal and duplicate as many as you need.
 
Hi Kent
I have the same airstream and used to use the Tyvek shields that you are requesting,
I moved to some silicon/rubbery kind of faceshields that are much more durable.
I bought a 10 pack as they were expensive as single units and I have yet to use more than 2! They are very durable and more comfortable than the Tyvek ones. I can spare some....

Let me look for a picture, I know I have one somewhere as I was going to sell some :)
 
Thanks Edward. I would be interested in buying a couple from you. My only concern is that they are small/medium size and my head is rather long, but it is likely worth a shot. Let me know what you want for them…
