Tooth mesh material size/source

[Ducati]

What are people using on their helmets for mesh behind the tooth area? Mosquito screen? Something else?

 

What size of screen can you suggest? By size I mean the center to center distance between fibers on the weave.

 

Can you suggest somewhere to purchase the above material?

 

Thanks in advance

It comes with a lot of the helmet kits, but if you need some it's window screen mesh. I use the plastic variety. I can send you some if you like

The best material is "pet screen" You can find in all home improvement centers (Lowes Home Depot even some Walmarts carry it as well)

That's exactly what I have... bought a big roll of it when I built my clone... if there is a need for it I'd be glad to open up a run of it for as long as my supply lasts.

Use the pet/window screen that has a rubber/plastic texture to it. I've used the really thin metal mesh and that stuff was a pain to work with. It kept fraying.

I use a very thin black fabric. Breathes very well and fully dark. It's not unlike the stuff you'd use for a wedding veil but a bit tighter weave.

I chose not to install the mesh. They did not use them on the set.

plastic window screen. it comes in black grey and silver. with no mesh you need a baclava

Just to follow up for the next person that comes across this thread using the search button. I stumbled across some screen material at my local fabric store. It's plastic and came in several sizes; everything from bug screen, to pet screen size. It was sold by the foot, which is 1000x cheaper (considering the amount required) than buying a whole roll at Home Depot.

I use the screen material used on windows. A quick trip to home depot or a hardware store should suffice. Although only drawback is you might quite a few leftover O_o

 

EDIT:

PS. also they do offer the screen in both gray and black. I chose black since I have an ESB TK and it blends better. So if you're doing ANH then the choice would be obvious.

Hey if anyone bought a big role of mesh at a home improvement store and after cutting off a few inches has a massive role sitting around the house... I'll take a couple more inches off your hands. Happy to paypal you a couple bucks for your trouble. I was at Home Depot last night and couldn't bring myself to buy a whole role (even tho it was cheap) cuz it would just sit around the house/garage after I took what I needed for my helmet.

 

LMK. Thanks.

Batphobic: I might have some. I can check later tonight when I'm home.

[Cadger]

Batphobic: Sorry, but I didn't have as much as I though.

[Batphobic]

Cool. Thanks for checking.

I just went to Joanne and asked for a small sample of speaker cloth and they gave it to me for free. No need to go spend money on something when you can get it for free.
