Today I'm setting up my temporary spraying  booth in preparation for spraying 19 face frames and 20 cabinet doors. This is the first time for this temp booth. I still have hang door over the opening. Then get a fan set up to exhaust the over spray outside.

Hey that is awesome Richard, that is something I have been meaning to do for some time now, we have nice dry climate for spraying outside, but our main problem since we live in desert conditions, is the dust. I would love to spray inside my garage.

I have a question for you, how does this setup handle the overspray that atomizes, and possibly could settle back into the work, or does that even make a difference?

Did you leave the gap at the bottom so the fan could draw air into the booth?

By the way pal, beautiful woodworking, those doors look awesome, what are you spraying on them?

This is the first time trying this setup. I got the idea from Jeff Jewiit's book "Spray Finishing made simple" a good book that has a DVD with it that show you how everything in done that's in the book. I recommend the book.

The gap at the floor is because, that's what size tarps I could buy. And yes I hoping that a good think and the where the makeup air will come from.

I will be experiment with my fan setup and the idea is to get enough air movement across the work piece to take away the over spray and exhaust it out side. If I had warm weather I think I could just open the garage door a put some fan/fans behind me blowing towards the outside.

Anyway give me a few days and I report back with my setup and how it worked.

Forgot to answer '' what are you spraying on them". I will be using "Target Coating" EM 2000" which is a water borne Alkyd varnish. I've sprayed water borne finishes before but the is the first time with ''Target Coatings" product.

I like the spray boot Richard.

I thing that should work good giving you enough makeup air. Are the doors and panels from that bloodwood?

Yes, that's the Blood Wood.
