I have been trying to find some of the 3m hurricane protection / security film for windows. But I can only find it available with professional installation.
I don't want it for that use. I want it for my DIY bullet proof vest.
suggestions?
sources?

yes, but I was kinda hoping someone knew someone who could give me a couple of square feet of scrap for "testing".

Have you tried looking for one of the 3M Window Film Dealers? One may have some scrap on hand that they would donate to a worthy cause.Precision wrote:yes, but I was kinda hoping someone knew someone who could give me a couple of square feet of scrap for "testing".

I have been a little too busy to do the appropriate kind of calling that would make that actually work, but I plan on doing just that next week.
Might just work, what with my sparkling personality and all.
