Hello all,
I have recently purchased a Paasche HSSB-22-16 Spray Booth. I have it situated on top of a work bench directly in front of an open window, so that the rear of the booth is pointed directly out the window to vent the fumes. The only drawback is that all of the windows in my apartment have screens on them (with a mesh very similar to the kind you'd have on your front door to keep bugs out), and they cannot be removed from the inside. Since I'm on the second floor, it's not possible to take them off. So, technically the rear of the spray booth's fan is sitting right up against the mesh of a window screen.
Does this sound like I have adequate ventilation for my spray booth? Or would the presence of a window screen too greatly inhibit the flow of air out of my apartment? Judging by the power of the fan and the size of the holes in the screen, I would think it would be fine, but I was just curious to see if anyone had an opinion about this. Note: I am spraying only acrylics.
Thanks for your advice!

P.S. Cutting an opening in the screen is unfortunately not an option. :)
