I had the displeasure of replacing the glass in the blast cabinet at work. How well do the Mylar peel off's work for inside the cabinet?

I use the peel off’s from TIP products, they last as long as any regular lens. They are not exactly cheap so I have been looking for another idea to protect the main lens in my cabinet, or find a source for bulk roll of the thin Mylar. I can add the two sided tape and hopefully have less money in more lenses.

The ones from TP Tools work great and the tape they use holds well in hot environments, they also don’t have to be replaced as often as the ones that come with HF blast cabinets. I think I get 8 to 10 hours or more of blast time before I decide to replace one but you can still see through them, with the ones the came with my cabinet they would be so dull you couldn’t see through them in that amount of time.

I had read somewhere of using screen door mesh over a frame spaced around 1 inch from the glass itself as a shield, guy claimed to have used it for 10 years without needing to change the glass. At work the blast cabinet has plastic sheets that cover it, which work decently well until some of the people use it and they point the gun straight at the glass to see if it is on.

I bought some clear acetate sheet in 1985 to place under the glass on my bead blaster cabinet. I figured to replace it fairly often. It is still there!
I didn't attach the sheet to the glass, I just placed it over the opening, then laid the glass on it, and clamped it all down. There is foam weatherstrip between the cabinet and the window assembly.
I think the acetate has enough "give" that a glancing blow from the bead doesn't leave a mark.
The only people that use the cabinet know to not let the bead hit the window. In a commercial environment, this is impossible.

You could use 2in scotch tape. Just put strips side by side over the entire glass. When the tape gets hard to see through just remove one strip. When the glass in that part gets bad, remove another strip.
