DIY paint booth fan question

:thankyou: I say thank you SSCuda for taking the time to relate and care. personnal story???. o k. here's some of mine:
lets go back to the mid 70's, i am 26-7, I buy 4 horse gooseneck horse trailers, have them sandblasted,( my side job related to my other side job, quarter horses... I then mask prime and paint, with acklid enamel. then I use acrylic enamel with hardner for the first time. next day or so, I feel like a am running a very high fever. but actually NO ever. coughing bad, can't hardly seem to get good air for days. yes respirator, even painting outside.....
fast forward t mid 80's. I am shooting my AAR cuda with epoxy primer and BC/CC for the first time. knocks me completely on my ***. BAD! after that for a long time, I can hardly even stand to near a bodyshop and smell even dried paint!
I should not even get near any of it without a full facemask, or googles, and my whole body covered. really need a full air suit.
we have maybe heard about someone years back that guy that shot EMRON and died right there!??

I won't tell you about the time a doctor told me I had pulmonary fibrosis and would die. all related to my sensitivity to this stuff. ( fortunately he was wrong, took me a while to figure out he was wrong.... I was was 30)

problem is you won't know how you react to these chemicals till you are exposed to it.

better living thru chemistry! yea right!


barbee,

Thanks for another interesting story.

And yet after all this time you continue to ignore the obvious. How long does it take before you begin to take the proper precautions when you're painting??

Not to mention the environmental impact due to spray painting in the open.

"Chemistry" is good if handled properly.

It's not too late to start looking after yourself and your surroundings.

And yes I care. Sometimes too much. That's why I'm a PITA...................... Don't be stupid!!!!!
