The press that I ran for year's had ventilation tubes that were on the floor to help with the vapors, but they wasn't maintained properly which made them useless. I was around mek, thinner, acetone, toluene and a glue that was applied to insulation paper for transformers, so I do have some knowledge and experience around hazardous chemicals. I had to take hazwhopper training yearly. The correct respirators to wear around hazardous chemicals is a heck of a lot more than $50, if I remember correctly it was more like a few hundred dollars each. A fan in the wall is about as useless as it gets. I understand and agree that better regulations are needed but it seems to me that California would rather ban it than fix it.
