Bathroom Spray Booth
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 9:53 PM
I was wondering if you bought of made a spray booth an then attached the hose into the bathroom fan. The fan in the spray booth would push the dust throught the hose and then it would hook into the bathroom fan duct and that would blow it out side. My friend came up with this idea when we were trying to solve my airbrushing problem and I thought he was crazy but then said it just might work. I you have any other places to dump my paint dust. By the way I'm not close enough to a window.

thanks

It's not the paint dust (residual pigment) that's of first concern; it's the organic vapors from the solvents carrying the pigments. Paint dust can be controlled using a filter between your paint source and the exhaust fan. Any fans used to exhaust organic vapors should be at least brushless to avoid the potential for fire. A bathroom fan ain't it. In addition, organic vapors are heavier than air, and will tend to settle in the lower portion of the exhaust hose, unless the booth fan is strong enough to push them toward the ceiling. Bathroom fans are designed to help remove odors and rising water vapor. I'm sorry, but I believe you need to rethink how to get the vapors outside. How come you can't get to a window? Just curious...
