1. Detailed set of DYI instructions..

I did like the suggestions
1. to make the pipe cleaner stiffer.
2. I really liked the oven bag for killing BACTERIA (not virus) from the new DYI masks people are sewing at home.
3. Caution: when choosing an HVAC filter to use for mask filters. NOT ALL HVAC filters are safe.
