Subject: [SEL] Need Sandblast Helmet Visor Substitute

My throw away visor on my sandblast helmet is made of 10 mil (.010) clear
plastic that is 7-1/4" wide by 14-1/4" long. Today I had to stop blasting as
the existing visor got so blurry I could not see. I went to every store in
Searcy trying to find a piece of plastic that would work for a substitute
until I can order some and could not find anything.

Does anyone know of a common local product that would work for a replaceable
visor on a Sandblast Helmet?

Paul, did your helmet have a piece of throw-away plastic over the window?
If so, I get Warp's Flex-o-Glass at our farm supply store and cut it to
size.  It is relatively cheap.  It can be held in place with tape.  I use
Scotch double-stick on my bead blasting cabinet windows.  

If your viewing window didn't have a cover, you can get a replacement
polycarbonate shield at your welding supply store and cut it to size.  After
you've done that, tape a throw-away layer on top of it.

So many projects.  So little time.
