Little off topic. Thinking of making a spray booth

Post by h8mtv »

I have a brand new, never even had the package opened greenhouse kit. I do not think it is the highest quality, more like a heavy tent. I am thinking of trying it as a spray booth, especially in these winter months. I have not done a ton of painting other than from a can on stompboxes. MY main concern honestly is keeping grass from growing up in there on me.

put some pallets down and then put plywood over the top of them (obv screw the plywood down). boom.

makeshift floor and grass killer. put a fan at the end of some ductwork and it'll suck all the nasties out.

*optional additional hood that you pipe into the yappy neighbors dog house so when he's napping you can simultaneously get him high/docile, and paint him Seafoam Green.

I'd lay down some heavy plastic down, it comes in different thickness... like what's used on crawl spaces. Or even a tarp. Home Depot sells a sheet of plastic that you hang over a door, it's gotta a zipper so you can come in/out and seal it in tight. If you install a exhaust fan, you have to install a intake duct. A hole with a air filter duct taped to it.

I think I am going to do a combo of plastic down and something down on top. My neighbor works at a flooring place. Maybe a scrap of carpet or vinyl.
