    Help needed with airbrush booth

    Hello, I have recently got an airbrush booth. I have a question:

    right now I have the hose that comes out of the booth not put outside the house but simply under the table. Is this safe? will the filter clean all the fumes out? Do I need to put the end of the hose outside?

      Out the window, the filters only filter the particles not the fumes.

      Not such a problem with acrylics, but enamels/Cellulose fumes definitely need to be outside.

      You should also wear a particle mask, as even the best booths won't catch all the minute particles.

      Hope this helps.

          And I dont think that lovely floor will be so lovely after a while.

          Out the window with it. Also to get a correct airflow, if you can have a door or window behind you open as well, then do so. Any extractor only extracts if there is a good flow of air through the room.

          Out of curiosity, which make is your booth.

              That is an Expo Booth Ian about £60 without the hose bit.

              They do sell these as a spew into the room job. I tried that in the garage at the last place we lived. The twin filter system does catch a lot but the remainder just gets recirculated.

              As said above it is best and safest to take it out into the external air.I bought another duct set to add on to take it out of the window. I got from a builders merchant a connection piece to fit the two ends together.

              See Ivan that you have lined the floor. I did the same with blotting paper. Also did the sides as well. Keeps it looking pristine.

                  It's got a hose you can see it in the last picture behind the chair, but like others have said it is best to vent it outside

                      Hello

                      Sorry for late reply, it didn't notify me of your comment. It is of an unknown make i think but you can find one easily on eBay. I have now put the hose out the window

                      thanks
