DIY Air Filters

andyfrog| Posted inGeneral Questionson

I’ve been reading up on makeshift air filters, and something I wondered about with the ‘corsi-rosenthal’ boxes is whether or not the cardboard used to seal one end of the cube is airtight.

If it’s not airtight, would it even really matter that much?

    I doubt it matters all that much.
