Erm...don't.

If you really must, warm the can and whip the models outside spray and run back in immediately.

But best of all, set up a spraying area in the house (bathroom is good). Spread newspaper around, keep the spraying brief and to a minimum, and open all the windows to allow the room to air after.

Okay, spraying indoors is a bad idea. It really really is. I pretty much ruined the floor, in addition to a lot of other stuff in the kitchen doing spraying indoors in an apartment I used to rent. The biggie is all the overspray, which since it's a bunch of very tiny, light weight specks, goes EVERYWHERE. Short of doing some sort of super air filter that filters ALL the air in the room you're just not going to be able to deal with this.

So, in short, don't spray indoors.

Sup,

Simple solution for ya. I spray outside in a shed in my back garden, to prevent the wind wasting my spray. This doesn't help with humidity though, so I just spray the models on one side then bring them back into the house (best to place your models on a box lid or something for this.) where i use a hair drier to dry the models. Be careful not to put it too close too them in case you ruin them, I use it on low heat/power. When there dry bring them outside to spray the other half and repeat with the hair drier til your happy with the result. It's always worked fine for me and given a really clean smooth finish, as long as the drier is'nt too close to the models it'll work fine. Best to use a test piece first though just to get the hang of it.
Bug me if you've any more queries.

Mookie.

yea get on the "dont spray indoors" bandwagon. its just not a good idea the stuff gets on everything. seriously just leave your paint and minis inside, until your ready to paint. go outside, paint, come back inside to dry. TADAAAAA!!!! painted minis with no problems
