Hey Group,
I finally finnished my spray booth and it looks and works great. I do have a couple of things I did notice however that perhaps you can share your anwsers on?
Apparently at 15-20 psi dialed in on the compressor this will indeed blow your parts all over the booth.
Question: What devices do you have in place to better secure the part tree’s?
[:I]
I have shaped a hanger to hold the body off the ground to ensure I get the lower body panels when airbrushing. Do you have any other suggestions that may work in this regard?
Anyway, I am having a blast (and so are my part tree’s).
Please share your ideas.
Thanks a bunch.

You could use wooden spring type clothes pins. The jaws can be modified to what ever you want and then can be screwed to a block of wood, etc and set inside the spray booth when you need it. The clothes pins will keep those trees from flying unless of course you have a tornado [:D]
Here is what I use,
Go to radio shack and buy a pack of large “A” clamps, use a 1/4" round wooden dowel and make them about a 12" long. Put one end of the dowel into the rear of the clamp and using pliers pinch the end of the clamp to hold the dowel in place, I made mine up about 10 years ago they are still going strong. Here is the best part, put up a small piece of peg board on the wall with a 2" spacer so that the peg board stands away from the wall and you now have an instant parts holder.

Some of the upper scale electronics shops carry what is more or less a soldiering helper. Its a heavy based holder with two “roach clips” on independent arms that each have 2 elbows . I like that it has two, one some times isnt enough and the spruce will flop around a bit.
Some models even carry a magnifying glass for "detail " work.
