[count zero99uk]

Ive been looking for some solutions to spraying and I saw this on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Portable-Spray-Booth-Extractor-Fan/dp/B003IJWYFO its available all over and ive even seen it with the Expo Tools branding on for about £20 more expense.

Has anyone used one of there and can comment on its efficiency for general spray can/airbrush use. Thanks.

I have to admit to using cardboard boxes for spray booths.

inside? with fumes? you fitted an extraction fan to it?

I have that one, or one very much like it. It will cut down on overspray, but because the fan and motor are directly in the line of the air flow I would recommend against spraying anything with combustible fumes through it as it might catch fire or blow up the fan motor. Basically, acrylics only!!! I would still wear a mask too and change the filter out about every 20th session or so depending on how much you spray in each session (you can cut various furnace or humidifier filters to size to save you having the buy the needlessly expensive filters that are made for it. On the back you can/should attach a dryer hose and vent it out a window too. My friend actually found a smaller gauge hose and adapted his to vent directly into his Central vac system. Scored HUGE points with the wife on that one let me tell you.

I tend to use it outside or in the garage - I wear a mask when painting with it so I don't inhale acrylic bits.
