    Re: Building a Spray Booth Thank you for the info, So I will have to move the vent down to the floor of the booth? I'm assuming when you say the floor you mean the floor of the inclosure.

    Gunsmithing Building a Spray Booth

    Re: Building a Spray Booth I just had a idea I thought I would put here for myself to remember later. A rotating hanger... maybe a large round plate on the front top and a smaller plate in the center and a belt to connect the two. Manually/hand operated.

    Gunsmithing Building a Spray Booth

    Re: Building a Spray Booth Sorry I don't have pics up yet, one thing is for sure don't use a 8" fan and taper down to 4" it lowered the performance a lot. I think the inline fan will work fine I just have to keep the 8" line all the way out. I will get some details out soon and pictures...

    Re: Building a Spray Booth I was just looking at some other spray booths, I may not make it as wide as 4' may do 2.5' wide, this will help the overall performance of the booth.
