spray booth motor and fire.
I built myself a makeshift spraybooth using some old canvas boards i had.
Now I was wondering, are there any special requirements for the vent motor? I was going to use some "generic" bathroom vent which i had lying around. (it had minimal specs and it was mostly in an asian language) Aside from sucking power, are there dangers concerning spraying flammable gas ( lacquer thinner) onto a fan motor? After all a vent fan is basically connected to coiled wires and I'm afraid that a spark could ignite (and explode) the mist of highly flammable gas that comes from the airbrush.
If there are parameters to buying a safe motor, I hope someone could post a list of sorts so i can acquire a safe exhaust fan.
end note :: will a filter eliminate this flammable threat?
Thanks
(very informative forum , loving it )

edit::
Well i found something on the box of the fan which had pictures of flaming aerosol cans and a big X. LMAO
I guess i'm not using this fan for my booth. (good thing i decided to double check!)
What specifics does the fan need to have, so i can purchase a "safe" one from the local hardware store?
Thanks.
