Hi Bob I'm a slob all the way with Si on this one same as him with 72nd (armour) even then only for a varnish coat 35th will just have to live with it. Dave
Spray and go......see what I did there

I use a heated horticultural propagator a bit like this. . .
Not at all. . .

Good idea, only one problem. Would the Yamato fit in it lolI use a heated horticultural propagator a bit like this. . .

Glad I'm not the only one sharing the space with SWMBO, and for sewing and embroidery. Must admit I've not had a problem with drying on the work bench. But then I'm only doing matt AB so as someone said, dries pretty quickly.
Regardless of scale, Yes!, although at some point it's no longer called a propagator but a poly tunnel! Ha!
Miko (thinking about Yamato!)

Thank you Dave, first the president of the untidy bench club and now this. My modelling life is complete :nerd:
Dave,I didn't know you had....... Oooops, sorry, wrong ad :tongue-out2:
For me, it's too many inpatient sticky fingerprints in vital areas that's got me into observing proper drying times!
Miko (too much time on my hands)
You know it makes sense! I'm considering installing a small vacuum device to mine to remove those last dust motes that always seem to settle where they are least welcome!
Miko (taking proverbial a sledgehammer to solve peanut valued problem! Ha!)
You wouldn’t solve it, you’d just make it worse. You’d be better off putting a filtered pressure feed on it. Any leaks in the arrangement would then blow outwards and not let dust in. All a vacuum device will do is pull in dust from the surrounding area. Clean room design 101…..work in a filtered air positive pressure environment to keep out contaminants.
Trivia but that reminds me of the debate we always had between US & UK vehicle painters.
As a rule they ran their spray booths under positive pressure, to keep the dust out as you say. In the UK we run negative pressure. Not great as dust always tracks in from somewhere, but it stops the harmful fumes being blown out and reaching the unprotected souls outside!
Brilliant!! didn't think of that, best use the vacuum outlet and not input! It's be warm too!
Miko (learning stuff today)
Weird. I’d think in a professional environment like that you’d just have HEPA filtered clean air inlet and carbon filtered foul air outlets on your HVAC? You could even have clean air laminar flow over the spraying area inside the room if you needed a higher grade of air quality. Both strategies are commonplace in the Biopharma world and have simple design and control so I’m surprised it hasn’t crossed over.
Showing our age kinda thing :smiling3:
I think I'll just paint myself pink with yellow spots and run around going slobby slobby slobby........oh wrong one ok I'll put some weight on and run around going slobby blobby
