Thanks, yes, well it started as one of those white storage deals from I think Home Depot. The fan is in the top section with a small compressor along with wiring and ducting to outside. I wanted it as self contained as possible. I think I spent $150 on the cabinet, hardware, plumbing for the compressor, wiring, a sheet of plexiglas, a fan and ductwork, and paint so it wasn't terribly expensive to build. The switch panel is one master on off, compressor, fan and lights. The bottom is for extra storage. The front panel and clear Plexiglas cants in to create a venturi to help the exhaust. Added a Tamiya paint stand set and I was styling. And I finished the inside with glossy home interior paint that I can always refinish as needed. Actually a large portion of the over spray just wipes out with some window cleaner and a rag. Put the couple extra shelves in the bottom. I wanted something that looked and worked well that was also functional so it was three months of pondering and looking around at other booths and gathering up the parts and about two days to build. It works great, hugely cut down on over spray dust and fumes. My wife use to complain about it all the time, but now even when she is in the next room watching TV she doesn't notice. The only time she does is when she comes in the hobby room after I was spraying Tamiya primer or lacquers. Once I forgot to turn on the exhuast fan and boy, I know for sure now, it really makes a big difference. It also greatly cut down on dirts in my finishes.

One of the most complex engines I have ever built.

Yeah, mine is an up draft and if you keep it clean and run the fan for a bit before painting I haven't had any problems to make me want to change to a down draft. It was my original plan to do a down draft, but would have required a lot more work and loss of booth space.

Supposedly, in theory, less chance of dirt falling into whatever you are painting.

Well statistically you have a better chance of some taking your info from buger king or home depot than off an Internet transaction. The good news is CC has very good protection.

This is mine. Works like a charm. I don't think there would be too much I'd change about it. and I use it a lot. I have since added a second line and a Iwata brush.

That is reasonable, but some times not so. I won a kit that was $9 but the seller wanted $40 shipping. So have little doubt people tack on whatever they can in shipping and handling, not all, but it's been a long time since I said to myself that was pretty reasonable shipping. I am glad they will be putting the breaks on shipping.

9% overhead is a pretty cheap cost of doing business.

Well I thought this would be a good idea twice and both times it ended up not such a good idea. So, I don't do it any more.

You're bald... I am sorry...

That pretty much sums up my experience, however, I've had one deal going bad.

Something like E-San Fransico Bay or E-commerce in the Bay area. I heard the story before but I forget. URL - donno Orange hair?

Hum... I always thought you were supposed shackle you women down.

Thanks for the info... It doesn't appear to be a widespread issue with a whole lot of folks, and for the ones that it is... I guess they pay if they want to play or go hide under their rock.

Funny, they always end up the bad guy..

Well, you know, there is always the exception...

What Goddess did you piss off? You have more troubles .... What is this about the 5th dog attack of about 30 assorted issues... My god man.

I think there is a fee if you get money, but not if you send.

okay? It's the cost of doing business. Who cares who owns it and if the fees are going to Paypal or Ebay... there are still fees involved. I don't see anything wrong with that. Buy a house.... take an airplane anywhere, buy a car... this stuff aint free, while I don't agree with all the fees eveyone charges for everything under the sun... it's a fact of life and people need to deal with it. Trust me it's not worth the fight. First of all you are never going to get enough people behind you to make a difference, you just are not, and secondly you are going to spend a lot of time and effort and LOOSE in the long run. Not tooooo paronoid, eh?

21st, that was 20th century stuff.

It's a Yeddie-bigfoot.

Not necessarily, it would be safe to assume that it's not a gas-out issue. A hot clear still could react with fully cured base, soften it up, and you still end up with the same problem. Not as likely, but could still happen.
