How do you cope with the dust? And/or do you have a suggestion for a quieter booth? I'm not a DIY person so building one myself is more or less out of the question...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244237.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244245.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244245.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth https://www.amazon.com/Paasche-D3000R-Compressor-Regulator-Moisture/dp/B001CJPWYM

It is as quiet as you could expect for an airbrush compressor, and has worked well for quite a while.

I never used overly high PSI, but I used it a lot in an apartment, in my living room. Dust accumulated on things, but it cleaned off easily enough like regular dust. I'd suggest doing it in a basement or something to avoid making a mess.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244248.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244248.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244259.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth
I basement or a garage where a little dust doesn't matter would be nice but alas we live in an apartment.

Oh and also, I don't really want to keep any windows open, especially not during winter. I do live in Finland after all... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244263.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244263.page GMT Re:Airbrushing without a booth -Find the smallest furnace filter you can
- Find a clear tote where the bottom of the container fits the filter.
- Find the smallest box fan you can roughly the size of the filter or slightly bigger.
- Cut a hole in the bottom of the tote slightly smaller than the filter.
- Now set the tote on it's long side, tape the box fan to the back of it where it blows away from the tote.
- Place the filter inside the tote covering the hole and tape into place or whatever method you prefer (need to replace on occasion).
- You could double stack filters depending on how fine they are, the allergy ones work best for removing the dust.

I eventually lined it with clear drop sheet to replace on occasion, unless you rig lights inside the box, the clear tote works well.
I like the tote method because i could screw things into it and is a fairly strong frame to move it around.
Many people use plastic plumbing tube to make a frame and then use the clear plastic drop sheets.

The large box fans on low are very quiet so are a good choice for your needs and move alot of air.

You do need to be careful, some bright colours use Cadmium which is a cancer causing agent.
I would still wear a mask just in case.
I try not to spray with GW paints because they tend not to list their pigment ingredients.

Anyway, I hope it works out ok.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244283.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth
It's a shame I can't run the booth lights without engaging the fan as well, because it's very well lit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244296.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244301.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244305.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244404.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244743.page GMT Airbrushing without a booth

If you want to get into the gubbinz of the booth you could probably bodge a switch into the fan power line so you could run gheblights separately.


Yeah I'll need to think about that. Also I'm going to do an autopsy on the booth and see if I can find a quieter fan and replace it. Need to find out the size and specs first.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/767337/10244768.page GMT
