Paint and Paint Booth

 I chose to use a  deep blue acrylic urethane paint.  Having never done a paint job of this magnitude, I did some research before I began.  The one common string that I found on the sites I visited was that this paint  can adversely affect ones health, if the proper precautions are not taken. Besides the organic vapors,  many of the newer paints use a hardener which is isocyanide .................it even sounds deadly.  From what I could determine a cannister respirator is not very effective in filtering out the isocyanide.  Most places I  researched HIGHLY recommended a  Fresh air breathing system.  I looked at several systems before deciding on the Hobby Air system.  It was a bit spendy, but a couple of visits to the Dr or emergency room, and one would soon have it paid  for.
 It took a bit of practice getting use to  the fresh air hose you had to drag along.  The good news was that while I was painting the WC, and using the Hobby Air breathing system, I never did smell any fumes in the hood   NO, I do not have any finacial interest in  Hobby Air or its affiliates.  I found a couple of places where the  painter had made his own fresh air system using a vacume cleaner to provide the fresh air.......This could be done if one were so inclined, since the hood is sold separately, and the fresh air delivery tube is just a garden hose. If I had known more what the Hobby Air System was before I bought mine, I would have attempted to build one. The Hobby Air breathing system is not  a high tech device,.however I felt it was very effective.
