bob26617 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Looking at portable spray boot options. Seems to be a lot available on Ebay. They all seen to say... --Note: Please do not use this spray booth with hazardous materials, flammable or explosive paints or materials-- Can they be used with lacquer and base coats ? Is LED light necessary ? Some have this , some don't.. will be used for 1/25 scale
Fat Brian Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 The issue with most spray booths is the fan. You need either an intrinsically safe fan that won't ignite the fumes or a fan that keeps the fumes and motor separate from each other.

The odds are that the concentrations of flammable vapors would never reach an explosive level during the painting of a model, but in the event some idiot overcomes the almost idiot-proof nature of these things and incinerates his cat, the sellers don't want to be held liable. If you want to be REALLY SURE though, make sure you use a sealed "explosion proof" motor of some sort...or as Brian suggested " a fan that keeps the fumes and motor separate from each other". Much has been discussed about this topic on this forum. Maybe Casey can steer you in the right direction.
