At long last...I finally bought a proper spray booth! Just happened to see it being brought in at my local hobby store. While looks like a Tamiya Spray Work booth, it's not. It's a no-name model (there's logo with the name My Hobby on it, but the company doesn't seem to exist), but the specs are pretty decent. It can suck in 3 cubic meters of air per minute, which is at least 3 times that of what my current makeshift fan can do. The question is, will it be strong enough for me to use spray cans, enamels and lacquer paints indoors? Here are the specs: Fan Power: 20 Watts Voltage: 110 Volts Air Flow: 50 LFM Absorption Capacity: 3 cubic meters per minute Thanks in advance for any advice! BTW, many of the sites selling this and other brands of spray booth keep saying these are "not intended for use with flammable or explosive materials." Thing is, alcohol and solvent based paints are always flammable, whether it's acrylic (except for the specially-formulated water-based ones), enamel or lacquer. In any case, since the fan is actually located to the side and out of the way of airflow, shouldn't that make it safe against flammable paints? Is that just some legal gibberish that I don't have ot worry about?
