Product Features
FoamEZ Splash Hood Liner offers protection to items being polished on a lathe if they unexpectedly catch on the wheel and are flung against the back of the splash hood. It also kept grit confined inside the hood and made cleanup easier. The majority of consultants were not using any sort of splash hood liner; a few were using household products such as a paper towel or aluminum foil. The fit and contour of the liner was not form-fitted to consultants’ splash hoods, and the liner sometimes had to be trimmed to fit. Sixty-three percent of consultants rated FoamEZ Splash Hood Liner better than their current splash hood liner and 5% rated it equivalent. Forty-seven percent of consultants would switch to FoamEZ Splash Hood Liner and 53% would recommend it to a colleague.
