Step 39 Instant Shopvac Filter

The filter for this shopvac blew away in a gale.
I made a new one by tying a piece of a t-shirt over the intake with a strip of bicycle innertube.
For extra good filtration use fleece material or more layers.

I had the same problem, but i personally used a sham-wow imitation, (magic cloth or something) then i sewed it together, I got the vac used that guy had a large sponge thing secured with elastic bands. i reused the bands and have a washing machine safe filter. lolz.

nice car by the way. i have a 93 civic. one day my air filter fell off on the highway and i strapped a t-shirt over the intake pipe to act as a temporary air filter until i could get it to a shop.
