Kelly:
Try your local hardware store. The screen material usually used is
actually a nylon or plastic screen that is normally used for window
screen replacements. The last time I bought it, it was on a roll, like
fabric, and the sales person cut off the amount I needed, by the yard.
Stay away from metal or plastic-coated metal screening material -
that's too harsh for what you need!

I am currently looking for a screen to use in cleaning artifacts.
We have just acquired a vacuum with HEPA filter and need to find some type
of screen to place between the vacuum nozzle and the artifact when
cleaning is necessary. I have had no luck with the usual product
catalogs found in most museums and would appreciate any help the list
could provide me.
Thanks in advance,
Kelly Wilkerson
