bromvw 744 Posted November 25, 2014 While helping my Brother in Law to fit his new kitchen an idea came to me . I was working on the stove extractor hood and thought - hang on a minute this is almost exactly the same as on a full size spray booth ! i already have a rough and ready PVC tent like booth that i've fitted an old hover to, to extract the fumes but i think that over the rest of the winter i'll improve the design . i can buy an extractor fairly cheaply as we have the Indesit factory right here in Peterborough who sell seconds at good discounts . Insulated plywood box with a sliding door and Reptile tank heating setup should do the trick too. Any thought on how to improve the design further before i set cutting ??/// Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bromvw 744 Posted November 25, 2014 Anyone know if Hepa filter material is available cut to size ? I've look at all the obvious places but cant find anyone who supplies it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheManOfBronze 27 Posted December 10, 2014 An important safety tip is to make sure that your kitchen extractor has the motor outside the airflow, so you don't get sparks from the commutator igniting paint solvent vapour. (I would have thought that would be normal for an extractor, since it's dealing with airborne grease, but I'd still check.) [edit] Found a filter material supplier: http://www.addfiltration.co.uk/paint-stop-dry-glass-filter-media-50mm-deep-1m-x-20m-rollI have a Benchvent spray booth for my modelmaking and it has I think two-layer filters on the "spray face" - one is the "paint stop" type with woolly fibreglass, and behind that is a thin layer of something which is supposed to catch the slower-drying paints like acrylics.

kaylon 235 Posted December 10, 2014 Wish I had pics of mine... but what I did was buy a small plastic greenhouse thing from B&Q for £15 and I glue gunned in two 120mm USB powered PC fans. I then taped some green scouring pads into some ducting and tapped that to the fans... it worked pretty good and was storable as I could just fold it away... Granted first time I used it I had the fans the wrong way and blew paint dust in my face... http://themicrogardener.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Foldup-greenhouse.jpg The link is not quite the same as what I had but it's close...
