Low tech WB Spray Booth

You should still wear a particle mask and eye protection but at least when spraying water based coatings you usually don't have to worry about blowing up the shop and killing a million brain cell per session.

Now that I have a HVLP spray system I needed to set up a little spray booth in the shop, but not dedicated space. So here's my no muss no fuss "cardboard WB coating spray booth." Its cross drafted with a simple 20" box fan and merv 10 filter. I took apart my "brush on coating" fixture and used the shop made trunnion. I modified it so it can be clamped to a bench -- in this case the booth is on my table saw out feed table. Pretty simple stuff thought I'd share.

Next up, a hanging "rotisserie" combo warm air infrared drying booth --- stay tuned.
