Bad Dust® Containment Curtains are designed for the repair and maintenance of sail, power, and commercial vessels. The ballistic nylon fabric can adjust to boats from 15′ to 200′+. The curtain system provides a clean, enclosed workspace for bottom-jobs and completely contains the debris and dust associated with the job protecting the air, ground, water, and surrounding boats. The curtain system can be used for the complete project beginning with a bare hull, during the fairing process, and up through the finish coat.
