So, my shop/ garage is built, currently in the seal up and insulate phase, then sheet rock, then electrical, etc… should be up an running next December at this point… lol…
anyways-
I have left one wall in the garage empty and directly across from windows on the adjacent wall. My thought it this. Can I install a fairly decent sized exhaust fan, variable speed and use it to spray finishes? I envision a breakdown top and sides that could be quickly constructed for finishing, and a small panel of filters hung in front of the fanto catch the overspray… when not being used I could construct a cover with insulation so its not open and bleeding cool/ warm air… I could hand the breakdown top/ sides on the wall aside when not being used, or hinge them and fold and store in the attic. So really, a spray booth that can be put up quickly, broken down quickly, etc.
-I don't have any open flames, just electrical in the garage, am I facing a combustion issue?
- I don't have a way to isolate the shop from the booth, so I'd have to clean the snot out of that place before flowing air through and spraying.. .not ideal, but at least managable.
- am I being dumb here, and not just building spray finished into the price of a project I do for others… I probably wouldn't use lacquer/ conversion varnish on projects for my house, I usually use Osmo.
- I get alot of request for built-ins and cabinet type work- spraying would be a really nice option to have.
Thoughts would be appreciated as usual. Anybosy who has a temp/ set-up and breakdown set-up would be helpful to hear the good, bad in between,
thank you-
