I think it's perfectly safe. Just keep in mind that when you're boiling water (for pasta or something), all the water vapor goes through that fan and all the electronics. What also goes through is burnt oil which creates that sticky disgusting gunk. Again, perfectly safe. The "fumes" from the paints are child's play for those things.
I think we will are referring to the Lower Explosive Limit, Flash Point and the Upper Explosive Limit. Auto Ignition is another factor with some chemicals. In our case I think we are just looking at the Upper and Lower limits. I haven't looked too far into this but I work on gas Drill and production Rigs and these are the terms used to define the parameters in which chemicals can combust or auto ignite etc... www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/flammable/flam.html Maybe someone with better knowledge of paint vapors etc... can work this out but concentrations would change depending on the fan draw and the ammount of spraying taking place. So many people have made these types of extractors and no one seems to report problems. You will see that some of the over the counter hobby booths say not to use aerosols - I'm sure they have done some maths and realised that there is a chance that those types can pose some sort of risk in that situation. I use zero paints which are pretty flammable, Tamiya thinner is also flammable and I spray paints with that. Whether those vapours reach a level where a brushed motor will ignite them I don't know. I imagine it would be determined by the rate of extraction and the ammount of vapour which will change constantly. I decided to buy a second hand centrifugal fan with motor outside the housing and a speed controller to build a bigger spray booth this summer. That way I am much more comfortable spraying in the knowledge that I should be better protected. These are readily available in the states but in the UK are much harder to come by. I would advise caution and research before embarking on a self build in any case.
Thank you for making this, Tom! Very helpful and thought you deserve some extra appreciation for this. Once again, thanks for always putting out great content!
I've been thinking about building my own spray booth, using a range hood is a great idea. I read all the comments and one thing some forgot to mention is that some ranges are gas and those fumes are flammable.
Thanks for the great video. Recently I started getting back into making models (cars at the moment) and was looking around to buy a spray booth. After seeing your video (and many others) I decided to build one similar to yours - works great!
Hey Tom , great build . I was looking for a tutorial this simple . For the extractor . If you decide to go fancy I'll recommend you the inline hurricane 6 inch fan . Works like a charm and you'll be set for life . The IKEA lights are nice ;)
Most of the electronics are sealed off as Cooking grease build up if flammable. So ignition of the fumes is technically possible but extremely rare. Also in that point if it did ignite it would be quick (like lighting hair spray from a can). I do recommend a furnace filter. The allergy ones have a higher micron filtration amount to catch more dust and paint particles, though the cheaper ones work well too. This won't catch the fumes (ignition source) but will keep the exhaust system clean. The filter can just sit snugly, but I also use some weather stripe rubber tape to seal around the edges.
Do you use stock grease filter from hood, or did you change for some other tip of filter? Any one know is there any standardize marking for filters that are used for airbrushing?
Hi Tom How do you change the filter on this unit. Hopefully you don't need to pull the extractor out. Also, are you wiping your booth down before each session? Thanks
Hey there! Great video! I'm looking into building this as well but I don't have an airbrush, I only use spray cans, for paint, primer, clear coat. Everything. Do you use it for spray cans as well? Since this is from 2017, are you still using it - with spray cans - and how is it going regarding safety? Thanks!
I built a spray booth for inside the house. The reason I wanted one was because of the humidity messing up the paint jobs but its still happening. Thought being inside would eliminate the humidity problem. Any advice?
Nice, just what I was looking for! Although, something that I'm going to add is an end piece for the hose going out the window, because the metal ring embedded into the hose tend rip out of it after a while.
Say i have a question my diy spray booth is 2ft x 2ft x 2ft and i have a 50 CFM fan would that be okay? I am asking because my math is bad and this my 1st doing anything of this nature and don't have ton of money to work with . All Comments & suggestions are welcome thank you
I figured out that the Testors Aztek is a Sparmax SB-88 and can be bought on Amazon. I just ordered one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCBKFEY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I received this today and it is exactly like your original one before you built the new one. It even has the SB-88 model number. What happened to your old Sparmax?
I was wondering if it's possible to make an foldable version...I live in an apartment, so my space is limited... That's a good booth! Thanks a lot for sharing!
The question would be whether the fan's motor is brushless or not. It probably is. Extraction fans designed to remove moisture like that are usually brushless so that the little sparks on the motor brushes don't ignite the fumes, or short out due to moisture. But you'd never want to use a regular desk fan.
+Glouceswich junction that all depends on the cooker hood wood and led's you choose. I don't know how much all those would cost in your country. In my case it was about €100,/
I knew you were Dutch as soon as I saw the Velux window in the end haha. Great video, gonna try and replicate this. I use a proper mask but the fumes fill up the whole room after a normal session. With a baby on the way I don't want that crap around. Thank you!
Such booths are pretty OK if you want to remove fumes from acrylic paints but I don't recommend consider such things as a good extractor for 2k clear coats and other aggressive auto paints.
Vadim Vasilyev actually in automotive pain booths the design is similar. Like I mentioned they usually have a ten micron filter which isn't much. Once you remove the filters lots of overspray inside as the filters don't filter enough of the paints pigments out.
jason kinney All I wanted to say that booths from the video don't have enough power to remove effectively and fast all fumes. In case of acrylic paints it isn't dangerous but you should be careful with more aggressive paints. By the way, pigments in auto paints are much smaller than in acrylics, so I didn't understand your arguments about filters.
Great vid tom awsome loooking spraybooth u shud make sum more n put dem for sale so i can buy one of you i need one buddy let me no wat u think bout selling one thanks bud 🖒🖒🖒😎😎
CHI-TOWN TUNERS M.S a spray booth can be made with a simple box and furnace filter to grab over spray and then if you know where American Scientific is to get fan
They have various types of fans also try for the motor between two fans( squirrel cages) and the to Home Depot for dryer vent hose and bottom of toilet flange with duck tape and board wider than flange so you can put in window to blow out fumes but can be removed when not in use
Hope this doesn't sound silly, but dust is the enemy of model painting, right? So doesn't the extractor fan pull dusty air in from the room and across whatever you're painting? Wouldn't it make more sense to blow air in through a filter so the slightly higher pressure in the box keeps dust out? Obviously that's not removing fumes or anything, so that's another problem to be dealt with. Just wondering what your thoughts on that are.
Not realy the case. Its not strong enough to pull all the dust from the room in. Only if the entire room and air in the room is filled with dust. Blowing air towards the model through a filter will cause problems
It is not the best idea, since those fume,vapor & oil extractors designed to trap all that stuff into filters, and not to extract all that outside. Ofc it will trap paint particles. It has weak extractor fans, cause by nature warm vapor is floating to the top by it self and don't need to be sucked with force. Extraction 180 m³/hour (your model) when your Sparmax had more than double.
+Simple models thats not entirely treu. Extraction fans with a Carbon filter are designed to trap all vapours. This one, with the extraction going outside does not trap much at all. Just the bigger particles. The sparmax had a suction power of 120m3 an hour. So thats almlst half of this one. This one has 200/220m3 an hour extraction
It does need to be sucked with force because the route is usually quite long and in most cases it turns vertical to exhaust from a whole on the wall. The length is usually around 1 meter but i've seen kitchen extraction systems longer than 2 meters working perfectly well without needing a monster motor. You'd be surprised how efficient they are. My uncle smoked under one of those and there was no trace of smoke in the house. It's perfectly capable of doing the job. If it can extract heavy oil fumes then it can extract paint fumes. As for the filters, you can changed them to something more fitting, big deal. But the filters they have do the job. They don't really trap anything except very very heavy and thick particles like literally burnt oil or fat. I doubt paint particles are that heavy.
Have to agree with your comments. People seem to forget that the electrics in a kitchen extraction fan are seperated from the air flow. If it wasn't you would have water from steam, oil and what ever else it extracts getting on the motor and other electrics and they wouldn't last very long. You also see people saying you should have a brushless motor, this is also incorrect, just because a motor is brushless it can still produce a spark, and being brushless does not make it intrinsically safe. Then there is the oxygen to fuel ratio, and with the amount of air flow from the fan, I bet that is way out as well, it would be interesting to test with a gas detector.
@The Scalemodeling Channel Ok, cool. Thanks. By the way I am a newbie to modeling and I am thinking of doing a Mclaren P1 so can you make a video about tips and tricks with brushes? Thanks.
My wife bought me one, or very similar, over a year ago and I've only started using it today! It's a bit noisier than I expected but draws all of the fumes through the filter. I'd like to build one and I wonder if it would work having a remote motor sucking through the filter via a long hose. That way I'm not near the motor and it should be quieter. The motor would then blow through a short pipe out under my garage door. I'll never get the time to do it!
MrChops yeah it's great isn't it, I have no paint fumes at all using it and the turn table is handy to have. I put my airbrush compressor next to it so I have the noise from that too but I listen to music through my headphones while I'm airbrushing.
I've been reading through the comments about filters and fumes. The filters, fiberglass or paper only trap paint particles in the exhaust, these are not hazardous as far as fire is concerned. After all, they are simply small particles of dried paint and when did you ever see a model burst into flame if a spark occurred nearby. when you spray solvent-based paints and clears the fumes are a danger, both as carcinogens and flammability. I have not seen any home built or purchased booths that are capable of filtering solvent based or 2k paints these products require extreme care and don't belong in untrained hands. Water-based paints only in these booths, please.
As a model hobbyist, we are more than experienced to work with the products being used. Including the types of paint. It's our duty to help and teach those who are NOT experienced.
I get tired of all these videos on paint booths that spend tons of time telling you how to make a box and put holes in it and then magically some fan or "cooker hood" it put in with no details on model, cost, how it fit together, how it is ventilated... you know, all the hard stuff I need to know more about. I know how to drill holes and assemble a wood box, I need to know the stuff about putting the actual parts together that make it more than just a wood box.
So you need to no how to saw a hole in the rear. Place the hood in, attach it with 4 screws. Put the exhaust hose on and put the electric plug in the outlet?
@@TheScalemodelingChannel trying to get it all to fit together by making sure it's all measured properly and isn't too big or too small, trying to figure out what kind of fan to use and how to get it to fit, trying to figure out how to get everything sealed properly, trying to figure out how to route everything and make sure that all the air flow is strong and goes out properly, determining how to make sure that I don't pinch off the airflow or do things that cause problems to the motor by allowing the wrong things through or not putting proper venting on, there are a lot of details and how to set up that exhaust. I have watched other videos where people have used all sorts of different types of fans and in some videos they even talk about whether you want the fan internal to the duct or external and there is the whole issue of how to vent it out side - just throwing the vent out the window is not sufficient because if it's not seal properly you can get a bunch of your exhaust coming back inside. personally I think the whole issue around picking a good fan and setting up the venting properly, getting good filtration, knowing how to replace filters and win, testing everything to make sure you have good airflow and no leaks, etc. is much more important than building a box. And when I look at these paint booths I can see the box but what I can't see is what's behind it and so that's the part I have the hardest time trying to figure out on my own
aren't you worried about the fumes from the paints and the electronics of the fan?
+MegaDragonMinecraft i explained a bit about that all the way at the end of the video ;)
If it's got brushless motors on the specs. then you should be good. Dodgey wiring however, will be on you, lol.

I have watched other videos where people have used all sorts of different types of fans and in some videos they even talk about whether you want the fan internal to the duct or external and there is the whole issue of how to vent it out side - just throwing the vent out the window is not sufficient because if it's not seal properly you can get a bunch of your exhaust coming back inside. personally I think the whole issue around picking a good fan and setting up the venting properly, getting good filtration, knowing how to replace filters and win, testing everything to make sure you have good airflow and no leaks, etc. is much more important than building a box. And when I look at these paint booths I can see the box but what I can't see is what's behind it and so that's the part I have the hardest time trying to figure out on my own
Yay
Hahahaahh nice credits!
