    Thanks again Andy. Don't have a beard and gave up with stubble after being chased by women thinking I was George Clooney!

    Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!

    Morning Andy One last ?? How long would a filter last in stock. The new ones came shrink wrapped. I plan to order 4 so I can replace them and have two in reserve, so I wouldn't run out Thanks Andy

    Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!

    Excellent many thanks for taking the time! Least I know the guy knew his stuff. I keep the mask in a container like you suggested. Change filters every 6 months? I don’t spray every day. Sometimes few days in a week, sometimes not for two weeks?

    Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!

    You'll regret that great ramble lol So the favour Andy. I messaged 3 companies asking what filters I needed to handle laquers. Using like you a Moldex mask? One didn't reply, the other recommended a filter but no ? The last asked for data sheets for the paints, got back to me quickly so I...

    Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!

    I have finally found a helpful company who supplied the correct filters for my mask. Only one to ask for the data sheets for mr color etc. Amazed how unhelpful many were. I didn't use a mask nor the booths extractor when trying Kaleido, only to see if there claim of no smell was true? It was.

    Experiments with laquer and the dreaded pong!

    I only use laquer but of course the smell is horrible. So as I will eventually have a proper room inside the bungalow, i need to control the smell and a lot! So I have switched to Mr Hobby Aquarius, not as smelly as Mr color. Using Mr Color's levelling thinner, but still smelly. Bought a bottle...

    Do you have a hobby mancave

    I use two rooms, the small bedroom upstairs for construction etc. However not enough room for the spray booths and as I only use laquer, Julie's very good nose would object to the smell. My builder friend Malcolm built a paint room in the garage with me as labourer, swear box was over filled...

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    Thanks for showing interest Chris, appreciated. Once I've added the hangers either side of the funnel, I'll do a photo. Started on the 22 odd stairs, used a box with dividers to separate the different ones
