Bernie the airbrush spray booth is a great idea. I just googled images for the idea and wow. Add a lazy susan.

Enduro is great stuff you can add stain to it.

Larry you got that right. Jeff was most helpful and answered all my questions.

Rob great minds think alike. I had the same idea and when I get one it will have one that I will make. Also thought of making a stand with a swevil on it with hooks that will fit inside the opening of a Hollow Form so it will turn as you are spraying. I think that would work slick.

Interesting thoughts on the wipe on lacquer he told you about - I would really like to try that and I think im going to try the EM6000-9000-retarder idea you spoke of - Currently I do not have a booth because I simply do not have the room - What I do is one of two things for bowls and hollow forms::: I have a couple of lazy susan's and one has a removable dowel rod sticking up thru the middle (several at different heights - and can attach a flat round disk to the top from bowls) so I can turn it as i spray and then leave it to dry....

The other thing I do (hollow forms) at times has been to hang it them from the outside facia board with string and a dowel rod (small) and fit it inside the opening of the hollow form to keep it hanging up and then spray and rotate it by hand. It works well and the spraying is kept outside but, the downside is that it has to be a calm day and all autos removed from the driveway (dust etc and overspray thing)........both work and perfer the lazy susan way because i can move them back inside the garage to an area for drying out of the elements.

Let me know how your idea on the hooks and swivel works its sounds like a great idea...............

Thanks Dan. I don't spray or finish outside much because most of the days of no wind here in Kansas are far and few between. If I waited for that I would never finish anything. I have tried several times and get dust, etc on the items all the time. Inside I have no windows so it make it hard especially with lingering fumes but I will put a dryer vent thru the wall for the exhaust. I do wear a half mask respirator. So I am hoping that the EM6000 WB lacquer and the Super Clear 9000 poly might be my answer. I have a lazy susan ready to go that will fit in the booth and hopefully will get the stand built so that it will fit inside so the booth will capture the over spray.

Bernie,

Is it the carrier chemicals that are the concern or the finish chemicals themselves?

If the finish chemicals are the worry, you might have to resort to hand appying finishes keep them from being airborne.

It is the over spray and the fumes Ken. I can spray with my respirator but the fumes that linger are what is get to me. I am getting my setup in place and hope it works out as well as I think it will.
