It took him 4+ minutes (not counting cutting time) to finish and one good wet sneeze and it will definitely be "disposable." Bought 100 "dentist type" 3 layer paper masks off amazon for $25 (the blue ones you see everyone wearing) a few weeks ago. Took just over 2 weeks to arrive but worth the wait consider how many "2 minute paper towel masks" one would have to make. It is very surprising how many N95's you see people on the street wearing considering how hard it is for people who actually need them to get them.
A lot of people, including myself, have had a good supply of n95’s for years. Long before Covid19, people used them for non-medical purposes. They were readily available, and reasonably priced.
