bag of tricks - Self-built spray booth

Self-built spray booth



Sophisticated modelling can hardly be done without an airbrush. Unfortunately the paint spray tends to spread throughout the whole room, although using a spray booth smaller paintwork can be done inside buildings. But industrial solutions are quite expensive, so we decided to build a spray booth ourselves. Here is our step-by-step pictorial - please note that it had not been a prefabricated kit but was built according to our own ideas!



We needed:
- Paulownia glued wood plate 80 x 60 x 1.8 cm (31.5 x 23.6 x 0.7 in) - L-shaped aluminium profile, 200 cm (78.7 in) - 3 plates of acrylic glass, 50 x 50 x 0.25 cm (19.7 x 19.7 x 0.1 in) - cooker hood, width 50 cm (19.7 in) - flexible exhaust air tube - various screws, nuts and washers - 8 felt pads for chair legs - revolving stamp holder - 2 round cork table mats - various glues

	First of all we had to buy some plates of various materials, hardware and a cheap cooker hood from the DIY store. We spent a total amount of about EUR 70,--.

	We decided to remove the vitreous fume screen which would have been in our way especially when changing the filter.

	With the help of several tools dismantling the screen was no problem at all.
