Re: Small shop spray boothes!

[OCtoolguy]

The subject of spray boothes or areas has come up here more than once and while reading through an Instructable today, I ran across this idea being used in a high school shop class. If you have the room and get hold of an old camping tent, this makes perfect sense. Large enough to crawl into to paint but yet collapsible for storage. Pretty neat idea.

That's actually a pretty cool idea, I can see adding some sort of ventilation at the rear, then venting it outside in some way. I'll have to keep an eye out for a tent this summer at yard sales. Thanks for sharing!

This is what I have purchased.  It was on sale for $25.00.  There is a flap in the back for ventilation.  I have yet to hook something up for that. It reminded me of a play tent that my kids had.  https://www.princessauto.com/en/42-x-36-x-39-in-pop-up-spray-paint-shelter/product/PA0008998569

I have in a pinch a couple times just hung up some plastic drop cloth and duct tape it left the top open with a fan and filter. Leave s small section at the bottom for a filter so there was a updraft. Worked okay for what I was doing..

I'd have never thought of a tent or similar.. I'm working on some different products that require either painting and clear or just clear.. right now I'm able to do this in the back yard with decent results.. but I know I'll need some sort of paint room if these products take off..

I use one that is smaller, its a little kids play tent from walmart.

Now big enough to stand in but enough to lean in to and paint, can get my upper body in no problem.

I put it on a big work table outside.  Works great.  

Cost less than $20 and really cut down the over spray and the windy issues i was having.
