Question 1

I live in a small flat, would this be able to deal with the lacquer paints I use for making models?

Accepted Answer

Yes it should  do. but keep it running for 20 minutes after you have finished spraying. It comes with a good length of telescopic tubing and a wide flat ended vent attachment as seen in the pic which will vent fumes out of a window.  I use mine in  6foot by six foot shed. You must still wear a protective mask though

Question 2

Is this suitable for spray sealant?

Accepted Answer

Hello Claire. This spray booth is suitable for spray sealants. However, consideration should be given to the type of spray sealant used. If you are using water based sealants then there are no concerns other than to use the exhaust hose and appropriate face mask to ensure that any VOC (volatile organic compound) is drawn away from you and your working environment. Even water based sealants and paints have VOC present, however, the levels are vastly reduced from those present on solvent based paints and sealants.If you are considering using solvent based sealant then you should understand that this is a risk that the solvent may catch fire. Almost all of the reported incidents have been from people constructing their own DIY spray booths and using a bathroom type fan. This type of unit has a fully exposed motor which increases the risk of fire as the solvent passes directly over the motor. The bathroom type fans also have a much larger motor which increases the chance of the solvent catching fire.We have sold a great number of our spray booths to customers who spray a wide range of mediums. We have had no reports of any incidents. This is not to say that there is no risk. The spraying of any medium through an airbrush can greatly reduce the total volume of paint etc being emitted as compared with spray cans. If the volume of spray and solvent is very low (in ratio to the air being drawn through the extractor) then this would, logic suggests, reduce the chances of any incident. The only true way to eliminate any concern, if using solvent based products, is to source a unit powered by a "squirrel motor". This motor is fully encased and does not allow the solvent fumes to pass over the wires around the electric motor. Unfortunately these units start at around £300.Could I suggest that you look at water based sealants which are a much safer option and not nearly so hazardous to your health as solvents based sealants with high VOC.I hope that the above assists? Please let me know if you need any further information.

Question 3

I would need a longer extractor hose or a hose extension, what size are the hose and fittings?

Accepted Answer

Hi, The hose is a plastic ribbed telescopic hose. Outside rib diameter is 100mm. Inside rib is 90mm appro..  The hose will extend to just under 2meters in length.   There is a rubber type attachment held in place by a hose clip to the back of the booth and the plastic telescopic hose is a force fit onto this.

Question 4

Would it be suitable to use this with rattle can sprays? (undercoating miniatures)

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially if using acrylic based rattlers.  you`ll probably need to clean the filters more often. Make sure you keep the LED lighting clean immediately afterwards. I some times cover them with cling film ( a bit fiddly but it works)
