Never replace the glass in your blast cabinet again.

I put clear packing tape over mine.

It's surprisingly easy to replace.

Only had to replace it twice so far.

Actually easier than the plastic shields they sell at HF.

...and cheaper.

I've never had room for one but found the video interesting and it made sense.

Some of the comments said blast cabinets used to come with screens to protect the glass.

I've just replaced the clear film routinely on my Tip cabinet that I've had for decades. With the vac running, visibility is not a problem.

I've never had a problem using the premade window guards. And they're cheap enough.

Yep, I use something like this to keep the dust out of the shop vac, and some good lighting is all you need.

I made a water trap on the bottom of a 5 gal shop vac, plumbed with PVC.

Works GREAT.
