Spraying safely
Discussion
OK, thought I would be remaining old skool with a brush seeing as I faff around with this in the dining room but we can sort one room out upstairs as a partial man cave. One of the reasons I have large gaps in the making process is carting it up and down stairs all the time. Anyhow, what precautions. Setting the table up under the window, cardboard box and a crude extraction out the window? A good and suitable mask I assume is a given.
Also, I have been given a compressor of unknown vintage and type. I am guessing there is a pressure cut off somewhere and this can be hooked up to a pressure sommit or another that feeds the whatever doohickey that feeds the air brush. Guess I need to find out about and understand the set up from the mains plug to the tip of the brush.
Need to ID the compressor.

Re blow back. It had crossed my mind. I was thinking of my bathroom extractor, or rather the blow back preventer for want of a better name. Few quid off the shelf and inserts into the pipe I would have used but point taken on getting it ready made off the shelf fit for purpose.
Though I have a couple of AC fans kicking around and was considering going Blue Peter on the idea.
Anyway. Filter for the compressor. Suppose the first thing is to ID it and see what it is able to do.

Whether using water based or enamel; you need the same ventilation and precautions for both. Both smell - they just smell of different things, and neither is like imbibing from the fountain of youth. An old cooker hood and carboard sides is ideal. My room is very small with a large vellum window directly over the workbench so I just use that and it's more than adequate - the smell doesn't travel through the house etc.
Part of my problem is sense of smell. None too good. And Asthma so preserving what I can. I will wear a mask.Been looking at the extractor cabinets/devices on offer vs the hassle of making sure I do not catch fire etc. and think I go for pre made. Mine was going to be based around a plastic packing crate bin with the fans fitted to the rear. Then the possibility of fire, as pointed out above, that meant filtering appropriately and checking the fans for compliance. So sod it, buy it ready made.
