That’s the way my garage is too. It never freezes in there, but it will get pretty danged chilly in there (think I saw 39 degrees last winter). But with the advent of the impending eviction of the last remaining freeloader at my house; I’ll finally have the one bedroom back to myself again! Then I can vent directly outside with a block affair (might make itn out of 1/4" plywood with sandwiched styrofoam in the middle).
I’ve decided to either order the Pace 20" booth or the 17 1/2" Badger Monday afternoon. Right now the Badger is out front due to size elements alone. Only thing about the Pace that bugs me is the noise factor. I have a hi-fi system upstairs, and it goes back into that room. That and my digital darkroom project (on again!!!). And I almost forgot my record storage racks (I own about a thousand LP’s right now, and the stash grows by the week). Soon as I get the last one out I’m instantly filling it up so there’s no more invaders.
Okay guys, for those of us that cannot spend $300-500 on a commercially made booth. Does anybody have plans for a downdraft booth not made of plastic (which holds a static charge, hence Kaboom! with lacquer) but of metal or thin plywood, with a sealed unit exhaust fan?
From an old doc to a new one, welcome to the forum!
The quick answer is to do a search for spray booth. You’ll find this topic has been saturated with questions and responses, both good and bad. Do some research, then if you have more questions, come back and we’ll give 'em our best shot!
Doc, basically do a search and read everything Mr Winecoff wrote, he was my main source of information (well, his posts!) during my research. I know couple threads had links to blueprints and/or designs for home made booths
