Home-made Spray-painting cabinet- test run
Good day,
Well, with the festive season well behind us, I finished installing the flexible duct and decided to give it a test run.
The length of the duct allows the fan to be placed another 4 metres outside the door and allows the booth to be oriented to get the best light under the Laserlite roof panels.
Tested the airflow with a lit candle and the flame was only slightly disturbed at all places within the cabinet.
I pulled the bottom of the filter away and there was enough of a pressure difference to snap the filter back into place when I let it go. Just as the filter salesman had told me! My fears of a "wind tunnel" effect were unfounded.
The acid test of course will be when I fire up the spray gun, but not while it is 35C outside and 40C inside the shed.
