So I need to prime. And I need to prime a lot of models, on the order of hundreds. So I am not doing it inside because the dust will get into the carpet.

1) Wimp! Prime inside.
2) Prime in the stairwell.
3) Prime outside in the lawn or something. Keep in mind this is Ottawa (Canada) in mid-January. It doesn't really snow here, or rather it does snow, it never melts, and then it rains everywhere making this sort of frozen lake.
4) Prime in a different stairwell.
5) I don't have a fan in the bathroom would that I did, although there is a sort of grate there that must have a fan at the end of a duct. So I could maybe clean the grate and prime there.
6) Garbage shoot, a new one I might add is right beside my room nice draft there no reason why I could do some quickie models there.

And finally...

Yes, I do have a balcony. And if I wanted to prime something on the order of a few hours worth of priming, say an entire army of figs that sort of thing I would probably want to move my shelves (which are just loaded down with minis at the moment anyway) and prime on the balcony.

So... where should I prime? I am actually thinking about using the bathroom now that we have been talking about it.

I could also prime in the bedroom it would not be the end of the world (large window) but I would have to move the bed.

Ah... you are Canadian as well i see...

I have the same problem because its very windy atm or freezing or none stop rain.

I would prime in garage but there are dead spiders in there atm ( not that live ones are better no... ) i just cant stand been near them .

So atm i hide behind a light post lol with a large box rofl.
basically , the light post + the large box make a small wall that sort of blocks out the wind. Give that a try?

That doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, I forgot to mention the wind. I think I will prime them in the bathroom in small batches, I can even get some protective water-proof plastic to cover the bathoom in in the mean time. Like a couple dozen a week something like that.

It really is kind of a problem here, mostly because of the cold and the wind.

I should have said I can prime at my parent's but they are selling their house soon. I am dragging my stuff to someone else's place just to prime waste of time.

Make a spray booth out of cardboard, create an exhaust with a cheap 20$ fan, paint inside where it's warm!
