what is the side effects of air-conditioned room while painting?
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 29, 2004 1:18 AM
it's somewhat getting warm out here in NY nowadays and i am tempted to turn on the air-conditioner.
But i don't know what this will do to my painting inside the house.

I have tried painting with it on last time and the paint didn't really dry well.

what are the health risks involved in this?

also, where can i get replacement filters for my respirator mask? as i don't think it will last any longer. Do i need to buy a new mask?
I live near the city and there are no home depot's or wallmarts around here. so all i got is ebay. Big Smile [:D]

I assume you'll be closing all the windows when you turn on the a/c. After sparying i'm sure your room will smell like paint. even the smell of thinner will stick to your room. why not make/buy an spray booth?

Judging from the effects of smoking in aircontioned room it would be a health hell.
Dont you have a garden, balcony, window (ledge?) where you can place your kit while drying in safety?
Always spray with an open window......I learned the hard way why should you do this...a nice soar red throat for three months due o inflamations.....

What brand of respirator? The replacement cartridges vary from one mask to the next. Check your yellow pages for Painters Equipment and Supplies.
