I was in need of a paint booth and did not want to spend lots of $$$ on one. So..I went to Home Depot and bought a cheap batroom ceeling/wall vent fan(this fan even had a regular wall plug on it) and a foam air conditioner filter and a mesh furness/ac filter. I had a rrubbermaid container,don't know the correct size but it6 is 15"wide x 22" long x and 16" deep with snap on top.
I laid the fan on one side of the tub and marked it with a sharpir and used a knife to cut it out. The fan fits snuggly into the opening. I had to make a few adjustments on the metal box around the fan with a pair of tin snips. After I was ok with the fit of the fan I use duck tape to seal around the fan, inside and out. I did use the scrap pieces of the cut out tub to reinforce aroune the hole. I used super glue and duck tape on this. I drilled a very small hole in what now is the top of the tub so I could put a wire through this hole to hang parts up that I airbrush. The filters were cut to fit the fan opening. I put the mesh filter into the opening and used velcro to let the foam filter stay in place. I also cut a paper cup to fit over the exhust opening(in my fan it is a 3" plastic tube about 3-4" long). I filled the piece of cup with small pieces of both types of filters.
Well, I just got done useing my new paint booth and it works just fine. The only other mod I will do is to tape from the bottom a piece of cardboard to help absorbe some of the paint mist.
I live in a moible home and don't have a basement or a garage to work in so I use the laundry room and had no paint mist lingering in the air at all.
I hope this little bit of money saving technology helps a few of the modelers out there.
Back in modleing aftr raising a family of 4 kids and now disabled. The last model I built was I think in 1967 or 68. I'm enjoying every bit of this hobby again.
