Kindermann Film Dryer Needs 'Skirt'; Suggestions?

[Renato Tonelli]

Someone gave me a Kindermann Film Dryer; the type you attach to a wall and has a plastic 'skirt' all around to keep dust out - similar to a Jobo Mistral Film Dryer (nut bigger).

The problem is that I need to replace the missing' skirt with some type of clear thick plastic: any suggestions?
I suppose that a shower curtain could do, but I would like a more 'elegant' solution...

Thank you in advance.

Foam board, Alubond, ABS sheet, Acrylic sheet etc.

What could be more elegant than a wedding dress cover ?

If you are in need of speed, sure clean it up. I have a nice drying cabinet, works fine, I use it occasionally, especially when drying film for friends who drop by.

I've seen camera shop setups, that take these units and build a small cabinet, mount the unit on top. I think the original material was, I think, a heavy duty PVC. PVC is not readily flammable (run for your life if it ever does start fire!)
My cabinet is metal with an acrylic door, works great.

Matt - I appreciate your humor.
Agx, mshchem - I might build a cabinet, but only if I have to; I am in the throes of building my home darkroom and I am getting tired of cutting, gluing, nailing, building...

I solved this same problem by hooking the dryer head at the top of an inexpensive portable clothes closet I bought from Home Depot. The bottom was an open rack, but I went to the fabric store and bought a large rectangular chunk of 5" thick foam the size of the floor of the portable closet and taped the sides to ensure I locked out any dust entering from the bottom. I've since found a replacement "skirt" for the dryer head but still put the entire unit inside the portable clothes closet - now I have double the dust protection.Something like this:https://www.homedepot.com/p/Whitmor-30-25-x-68-50-Portable-Wardrobe-6905-5955/206296205

Here's mine.
