Title: Ventilation -- Exhaust Hood?
Post by: ScreenPrinter123 on May 30, 2012, 11:38:13 PM

While reclaiming screens, does anyone use some type of exhaust system for ventilation?  Can anyone recommend anything that they've found particularly helpful in this regard?  Just a generic exhaust system, like an exhaust hood for a kitchen, or something else?

Thanks.

Not that this is an answer for you, but I PLAN on doing a vent on my new booth that I'm planning on getting.

Even if it's into some BS filters/baffles, I think it will be better to get any atomized particles up and out.

We just put one of those cheap attic fans (from home depot) in our warehouse ceiling. They work really well exhausting heat and fumes. I've been thinking about attaching one of them to our sink through ducting to help with overspray.

our new washout room used to be a paint booth so theres a bad ass exhaust fan in there on the wall. we have it rigged on a timer switch and it's pretty nice.
