here's a booth i built (mostly for airbrushing my model trucks) but i thought some of you may be interested in using something similar for parts and whatnot. what's cool is, i can close the door and leave the fan on - no more fumes!! the fan was the most expensive piece - like 90 bucks, but it really moves the air. here's some links to the reference i used. http://forums.scalehobby.com/viewthread.php?tid=4773 http://modelpaint.tripod.com/booth2.htm http://mysite.verizon.net/modelwerks/tips/Building_a_Spray_Booth.htm jon
Jon, I'm glad you told us what that was! It reminds me of the robot from the TV series "Lost in Space" "Danger, danger Will Robinson!" Explain to me how it works. What are the 2 holes in the door for? Do you spray with the door closed or opened?
haha! yeah, robbie the robot. it kinda does look like that. the filter material in the door (the two black holes) is just so that you can shut the door air tight and still get clean air flow through the booth. this way, you can leave the fan on, door closed, and all the fumes get carried off to the outdoors without stinking up the shop. you spray with the door off (those two gray things are lazy susans) and with the fan on, all the overspray gets sucked onto the filter - just a cheap replaceable air conditioning filter from home depot. then you put the door on, leave it, and work on something else for about an hour, and when you come back - no odor, no overspray - ready for the next rattle-rattle-rattle!! the "arm" is just ducting for a bathroom fan and it goes to my window, which i've boarded up and weatherstripped, and i installed one of those deals with the little flaps that stay shut until there's airflow on the outside. hope that makes sense! i have to do a lot of work on the truck at night, and it's cold outside (spray cans work best when warm) so i really liked this idea. jon
Thats realy cool,I have somthing very simular.I don,t have a door, But a good idea.Yhanks for the info.
Very Good ! Now , go make yourself a bead blaster out of angle irons , plywood and some of that fibreglass corregated roofing stuff so there's plenty of light coming in it....
