Reply to "slickum paint booth"

I'll add a few more pics in a bit. The filters are just home A/C filters from the hardware store. The fan is mounted above the booth and is at least 4000 cfm, squerrel cage. When I tested the fan on the floor it blew itself over! I have the intake choked way back and is adjustable with the gate valve from closed for warming to full open for max flow. There is a 2 foot by 4 pit in the floor connected to a 24 inxh pipe out the rear of the foundation. I have a gable vent with some plastic flaps to keep cold air from blowing back in. Ron, My figuring is if the booth is sealed the air has no choice but to escape through the pit in the floor as that is the path of least resistance. I don't think turbulance is a problem, the floor and walls are wet when painting. I have seen new booths with ceiling fans to ciculate air. My last booth pulled out and sucked fresh in. This one cannot suck in trash or dust, so far it has preformed well.
