I have an area designated for finishing in my new shop. Approximately 8' x 7'.
I will be using only water based finishes.
I have debated between building an actual finishing room, which would theoretically be dust free, and allow me to continue working in the rest of the shop while a projec dried, and putting in a free standing booth, one that was originally designed as a spray booth, or converting a greenhouse kit into a booth.
eceently I have seen posts from finishers that thought that an open front booth is sufficient for wood working, and I pondered a booth that was wall mounted on the exaust side, and had wings that would fold out.
If I would go with an open booth, and the project sat basically in front of the fan while being finished, wouldn't the exaust draw every bit of suspended dust in the rest of the shop directly to my newly sprayed piece? It would seem to me that I would have to keep out of my shop for a day in order to make sure the air was completely clear!
What about a positive pressure system? Anyone made one of these?
Some feedback and suggestions would be appreciated.
