This is genius I just moved into a new tiny apartment and didn't have proper ventilation to paint my model kits now all you got to do is make a quick stop to home Depot or whatever and then find some filter foam dope ideas thanks for sharing
What perfect timing for those of us in the north without a window. I saw the bucket on your last video and was about to ask about it. Then saw this video come up, so thank you for sharing!
I've constructed something similar to this. You can purchase Hepa fabric material to screen off fine particulates, but when it comes to white spirits (varsol/ alkyd paint thinner), lacquer thinner, acetone, xylene or anything that fries brain cells, vent outside. If you have a living bird in a cage nearby, you may learn a very sad lesson the hard way. If it's no good for our feathered friends, it's not good for us either. I ONLY use this indoor method with water-based acrylics and Isopropyl alcohol as a thinner and cleaner.
I blow mine through a box of activated charcoal pellets for fish tanks, works really well for cutting down the odors and is pretty cheap in bulk. Then I just burn the charcoal in my fireplace near the end of winter which is about when it starts to get exhausted anyway. A few kgs of the stuff at a time goes a long way, especially if you seal the box between uses.
Alcohol is one of the worst things we can breathe as modelers. I run a similar setup to this for laquers (I spray very little in 1/72 scale mostly) and I pop a window for fresh air. Regardless of what medium I'm using, you better believe I'm properly masked up. Hope you are as well. Alcohol based acrylic is vicious.
What a great idea, I would have never thought that you could use this technique for using a spray booth if you can't vent to the outside. Thank you for this video and the information you provide
Very cool idea. I see multiple asks about resin fumes from printers, spray paints, etc. This method is only safe for (1) particulates (like dried paint droplets) or (2) water-soluble vapours. Since resin and solvent fumes (etc) are neither, they will pass through or over the water and back out the holes into your room. Also, running the hose into the water, as some have asked, will make it more effective as a filter but it will cause more back pressure and your fan won't perform as well, so that's your trade-off.🤔
If anyone is asking if this would work for resin prints they really shouldn't have a resin printer those are the same people that get water wash resin and think it's safe to rinse down the sink drain lol
@zandarrthegreat6790 um it's not a mock it's a thing like do research before buying and know all the hazards it's like if you live in an apartment and don't use air filters and such and it gets into the air ducts and the voc travel thru the air system it will get into everyone's rooms and so Irresponsible for something like that to happen
I,m going to go with two buckets, water from bottom, with a few UV strips. Oxygen prevents photo reactive resin from reacting. Lots of little bubbles should help. And then a second bucket fitted to the top, full of activated carbon, and then outside. I got pet birds so I have to be extra careful.
One of the best tips ever. My modeling room is in my basement and I have no windows. So I have had to use all acrylic or hope the weather was good so I could spray outside.
It really is amazing how many non creative people actually exist, and I don't mean that in a bad way. The cost to buy anything these days is astronomical and being creative can save tons of money.
this is pretty cool, basically like those waterfall booths, both are probably fine for acrylics but for lacquers and such its not just about evacuating overspray, but the VOCs too, which this will not do, especially dangerous if youre using it indoors.
@@Lifeinerinn you could create the same setup as this but use a real active coal filter instead of this foam filter. If it works in a protective mask than it should theoretically work with this too.
@@Lifeinerinn a strong exhaust fan vented to outside is the only thing I would use for enamel and lacquers. Theres some nasty stuff in a lot of model paints, especially lacquers, really not worth the exposure risk to half ass the ventilation, especially if you paint kits with any significant frequency. VOCs can be carcinogenic or at least cause irreversible tissue damage. I personally use one of those explosion proof 10 exhaust fans that moves like 1942 cfm. It's overkill but nothing escapes my booth and it's peace of mind.
@@Lifeinerinn enamels and lacquers have lots of solvents and other nasty VOC-producing products in them, usually much more than most acrylic-based products. While an active carbon filters, HEPA filters and a NIOSH P100 protective mask might work for acrylics ona moderate period of time, VOCs eventually need to go somewhere outside to mitigate health risks. I would follow _jovian's advice and invest in a proper ventilation system for safety, especially if you've got other people living in your house.
Well considering every single one of those paint booths state "not for use with solvent based paints" just using them with lacquers or enamels is dangerous itself. They don't come with explosion proof fans. Hence why they're so cheap.
I’ve been putting together a setup for airbrushing with water based acrylics in my basement; on a low budget so this video is so helpful!! Thank you for providing some great info!
I use a box of activated charcoal at the exhaust of my paint booth, probably not as cheap as running an air purifier at the exhaust in the long run though, I might have to look into that!
Yes indeed. I can spray Alclad in my apartment and not stink the place up using one. Not horribly expensive and last a really long time. Also take up a bit less space than a 5 gallon bucket. But the bucket method DOES work!
I used the charcoal filter exhaust system for my grow tent and it does work I now use it in my 5gal bucket with my waterfall spray booth cause the water catches the paint and the fumes go to the bucket
@@PopArow4702 activated carbon cannot filter out these fumes. It can only filter out the particulates which will include the smell. You will still be breathing in everything that's actually toxic for you. That is why there is three types of filters the first of which being dust the second one being a particulate in the third one being a fume
My solution for spraying in my garage during the winter. My garage is insulated and heated, unless I have the side door, but it's to cold to do right now. Thank you Mr. Rex for the tip. Merry Christmas everyone.
I just moved to Japan, and with that comes a smaller apartment and living space. I figured I would have to slow down and possibly put a hold on my airbrushing so as to not stink up my apartment. This trick, along with a waterfall should resolve those issues. Thank you so much!
I tried this after seeing it on your channel last time you showed it. I don't think I had the holes big enough as the whole room filled with over spray I had a layer of blue dust in the bathroom too. I now know my holes were to small. If you only spray occasionally be careful as the water will go mouldy so empty it till needed. Thanks Rex. Jay from England 🇬🇧.
Thank you Robert for sharing your bucket trick. I was very curious about how it was rigged. You’re definitely for and about the common everyday modeler. 👍👍
Thanks. I'm looking to start airbrushing soon and I've never done it before so I'm trying to get together everything I need before I start. Some people can make things sound so difficult to the point that puts people off but you've made this sound so simple. Thanks again.
Wow, talk about timing. Not two hours ago I was searching through all your past videos to see if you had covered this topic after I saw it when you were doing the double spray booth yesterday. I went back 3 years and couldn't find anything. I was going to email you about it ... and then this popped up. Awesome. Thanks for the explanation. Take care. Look forward to the waterfall booth review.
Very helpful video! Buying the bits tomorrow! I might put a couple of sheets of hepa filter over the end of the vent hose inside the bucket, seal it with a large rubber band, gives another level of filtration.
So glad I found this. Have been wanting to set up a booth I got but the closest window is a long way away from the area I can work. Was worried I would need to figure out a system to chain some vent fans to make sure it got out. Going to do this!
@@barbatosrex9473 awesome I will order some! Do you mind if I ask what kind of sealant you might recommend? I get handy as needed but try to go with recommendations. I have found my local shop will give me some that work but often more as short term hacks. Last sealant they recommended to me would erode the seal long term and increase my costs down the line.
I would suggest to most of the comments about additional filter media that this system PUSHES air from the booth into the bucket, and the more media in the way the more blockage the air will have. A sucking fan at the bucket end would do better for adding more robust filtering techniques, but that would defeat the simplicity of this system. Great video!
Great idea, I really like it for the spray booth use, we had the same set up for our factory compressor discharge, it collected moisture and worked like a charm, I'm going to use this bucket idea in winter months when opening windows is not an option.
This is super useful, my setup is in my basement and there's no nearby window. I'm using acrylics for hobby painting and don't do tons at a time, I'll 100% be building one of these this week.
Cool deal!.. Has anyone ever used a rainbow vaccum cleaner it uses water as its filter I had one and used it to trap the paint fumes by evacuating out the fumes in my spray booth it worked really well too.. When the water got loaded up I would just dump it and be back up and spraying.
Thanks for the Tip, I'm fairly new into miniature & model painting, and have mostly done it all by brush, I did get a affordable introductory air brush though have been reluctant to use it due to my enclosed living situation, This seem like the solution to a few of those hurdles that were of a concern. 👍
Thank you. You just saved me at least £500. WIll definitely try this as I live in rented accommodation and the living room where I have my modelling bench as no windows at all
Nice trick. I have a spot that’s better for me in the lower level of the house, but setting up by any of the windows won’t really work. This seems like a useful set up
Your timing could not be better. I have been trying to decide on a method of making a similar system. I will be making one in the next couple of weeks. thanks.
This is a nice setup I have tried a lot of different things to mask the sent an out of everything fabric sheets balled up along the tube some at each end alitte way in from each end just have to see how many you will need for different paints because you will get the count down for the paint type you are going to be using but what ever way work for you or anyone else is a good way also I am just telling you how I have found what works for me thank you an I hope that my idea help someone thank you my friend
I live in a apartment that doesn't have a vent for our Dryer.. And I bought a set up that works the same way.. And it does great to catch all the lent .
If you want to use solvent based paint, you can make an inlay inside your blue bucket and fill it with Aquarius carbon filter pellets. Basically turning it in to a gasmask. It's probably not something that would pass a health/work safety inspection at a work place, but for hobby use it will work just fine.
Did you try something like that? I was thinking about something like that myself, but I have no idea how effective that would be/how thick the layer would have to be and all that. Face mask filters aren't very thick but the amount of air that passes through them compared to spray booth fan is wayyy less...
I just built one, only because it is too cold to vent out the storm door. I cut the charcoal filter to fit the entire lid then drilled 1" holes about 2" apart around outside edge of lid and 4 closer to the dryer vent coupler. I test sprayed some lacquer thinner. I can still smell the thinner but it is not as bad as no vent filter. Will have to see as time goes on.
Thanks for sharing your hacks much appreciate it since I am in a little room with no windows also and as for adding a little bit of water to the bucket I was thinking also for the scent factor perhaps a couple of tablespoons of Fabuloso. Once again thank you for this video. 👍
I've seen that Ninjon ditches the hose altogether and just stacks a couple of furnace filters behind the opening to catch any residual spray that gets through the filter in the booth itself.
Hi buddy ive just ordered my self a bucket and im going to make this as my set up is in my attic ,so thank for this very useful bit of kit ,from little old me here in england 😅
I have my spray booth setup in a similar fashion. I switched form a bucket with holes like that to an old round humidifier I picked up for $2 at a garage sale. The wet filters grab everything and it has a slot for a charcoal filter though I seldom put them in.
Thanks for posting this! I've been toying with the idea of trying something like this but have never gotten around to sketching out a plan. Nice to see that it can be done and a lot simpler than what I had in my head.
Great video… even though I have a window next to my booth, I like this so I don’t have to open and close it all the time…Only thing you didn’t mention is what to look for to change the water out. I started to get the water fall style booth…but it’s so much easier with the bucket in my opinion…
Thanks for going in detail about the bucket - I've seen it before and thought it needed some water in there so it's good to have it spelled out. Adding activated carbon/charcoal filters in the tube might help with absorbing odors, too.
Thanks for posting this idea, it s just great and an interesting solution for airbrushing inside when opening windows isn't possible for several reasons. Very good idea.
Jesus since last years before i do sth new for my painting corner i wont do it without checking if your channel have any ideas ab it too lol , such a useful for rookie as me . thanks man
Now, you have come up with the solution I need, so I can make my painting in-doors a lot easier, ( don't have a garage or shed, so I am in the spare bedroom) as I would like to use some of the acrylic lacquers, again, many thanks for this idea, I would like to wish yoh and your family all the very best wishes for the upcoming holiday season, many thanks from a Kiwi ( New Zealander) living in Australia 👍👍👍
Depends on how often you spray, every other week is good. If you spray multiple times a week then once a week is good. Add some dish liquid to the water, that helps
Thank you so much, I had this idea for a while but could not find any videos on TH-cam. Anyway, you just confirmed it and will go ahead and finish mine :)
I ALWAYS wanted to to know how to do that and What it Could do in enclosed area...or where 'wife' won't allow you to cut out the screen to vent out once window is opened.
I wonder if you could do a bucket a little larger than the hose , and do a layer system like a couple of layers of the filter where the hose goes in and then fill with the loose fish tank carbon thats used in the water diltes and at the bottom another couple layers of the filter and it vent though the bottom of the bucket , the overspray would be going through 4 total filters plus the one in the booth and then the carbon would potentially absorb most if not all the fumes/ smell depending how much you had sandwiched between the filters
This isn’t much different than an airbrush cleaning pot, only on a larger scale
How is the diameter of the hose?
Standard size on most spray booths on ebay
or a bong
@@RickeyWholaverfor that particular hose probably 4 inches

Thank you!! I’m putting one together tomorrow.
I live in a apartment that doesn't have a vent for our Dryer.. And I bought a set up that works the same way.. And it does great to catch all the lent .
Do you have a link to what you're using? I'd like to compare
Thanks for sharing this. I just set my booth up this morning to coat some 3D prints.
If you want to use solvent based paint, you can make an inlay inside your blue bucket and fill it with Aquarius carbon filter pellets. Basically turning it in to a gasmask. It's probably not something that would pass a health/work safety inspection at a work place, but for hobby use it will work just fine.
Did you try something like that? I was thinking about something like that myself, but I have no idea how effective that would be/how thick the layer would have to be and all that. Face mask filters aren't very thick but the amount of air that passes through them compared to spray booth fan is wayyy less...
Thanks for this. I was looking for a reasonable, alternative solution for indoor venting and this will work for my purposes. Cheers from Canada
I just built one, only because it is too cold to vent out the storm door. I cut the charcoal filter to fit the entire lid then drilled 1" holes about 2" apart around outside edge of lid and 4 closer to the dryer vent coupler. I test sprayed some lacquer thinner. I can still smell the thinner but it is not as bad as no vent filter. Will have to see as time goes on.
Fantastic as I have no ventilation in my hobby room. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your hacks much appreciate it since I am in a little room with no windows also and as for adding a little bit of water to the bucket I was thinking also for the scent factor perhaps a couple of tablespoons of Fabuloso. Once again thank you for this video. 👍
Particulate is the word you're looking for lol. Thank you for this video it just reassured every idea I had on building mine.
I've seen that Ninjon ditches the hose altogether and just stacks a couple of furnace filters behind the opening to catch any residual spray that gets through the filter in the booth itself.
Another great idea

I have my spray booth setup in a similar fashion. I switched form a bucket with holes like that to an old round humidifier I picked up for $2 at a garage sale. The wet filters grab everything and it has a slot for a charcoal filter though I seldom put them in.
Nice!
Great video! Very helpful for modelers to know.
hourra you fix my problem i was thintking about this idea in the shower and you confirm my plan
Thanks for posting this! I've been toying with the idea of trying something like this but have never gotten around to sketching out a plan. Nice to see that it can be done and a lot simpler than what I had in my head.
Great video… even though I have a window next to my booth, I like this so I don’t have to open and close it all the time…Only thing you didn’t mention is what to look for to change the water out. I started to get the water fall style booth…but it’s so much easier with the bucket in my opinion…
Thanks for going in detail about the bucket - I've seen it before and thought it needed some water in there so it's good to have it spelled out. Adding activated carbon/charcoal filters in the tube might help with absorbing odors, too.
Thanks for posting this idea, it s just great and an interesting solution for airbrushing inside when opening windows isn't possible for several reasons.
Very good idea.
awesome idea and very good explanation!
Thanks! I moved into a highrise and the windows dont open. Now I can spray inside without having to haul all my stuff downstairs to separate rooms.
Jesus since last years before i do sth new for my painting corner i wont do it without checking if your channel have any ideas ab it too lol , such a useful for rookie as me . thanks man
That's a perfect setup for those type of airbrush booths 👍👍
Now, you have come up with the solution I need, so I can make my painting in-doors a lot easier, ( don't have a garage or shed, so I am in the spare bedroom) as I would like to use some of the acrylic lacquers, again, many thanks for this idea, I would like to wish yoh and your family all the very best wishes for the upcoming holiday season, many thanks from a Kiwi ( New Zealander) living in Australia 👍👍👍
Great idea. I'm definitely making one of these.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Many Thanks Robert. Wishing you and your family the best of holidays!
That's a cool idea!
Seen vacuum cleaners with water filtration. I'm going to give it a shot.
A great suggestion, I'll have to give this a shot myself!
wow i'm setting up a system this is excatly what i needed
Im going down to lowes!
I switched to acrylics years ago and l've never had a ventilation system. This seems like a fatanastic idea to use. Thanks
How often do you have to change the water?
Depends on how often you spray, every other week is good. If you spray multiple times a week then once a week is good. Add some dish liquid to the water, that helps
Thank you for this info. I just about this today in a Facebook group. Cold weather has set in here where I am so I will definitely try this method. 👌
Thank you so much, I had this idea for a while but could not find any videos on TH-cam. Anyway, you just confirmed it and will go ahead and finish mine :)
The video i never knew i needed!
You just keep delivering!
Nice idea. Thanks for sharing.
I ALWAYS wanted to to know how to do that and What it Could do in enclosed area...or where 'wife' won't allow you to cut out the screen to vent out once window is opened.
Definitely a great way to go if you don't have a window!!!!
Fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing this, I always wondered how it works
I wonder if you could do a bucket a little larger than the hose , and do a layer system like a couple of layers of the filter where the hose goes in and then fill with the loose fish tank carbon thats used in the water diltes and at the bottom another couple layers of the filter and it vent though the bottom of the bucket , the overspray would be going through 4 total filters plus the one in the booth and then the carbon would potentially absorb most if not all the fumes/ smell depending how much you had sandwiched between the filters
