    hey Ken,

    I have just built a spray booth of plastic in one corner of the hanger - my main reason was to keep the spray contained - and the fumes. It works really well at that. I too was worried about the explosion risk so went for a blower that has a 5 m duct on it. The actual blower sits out of the booth near the front door of the hanger and I put and louvre exhaust vent in the other end of the booth to vent outside. The booth is not airtight so I need to prop the louvres open when spraying but it works well. As for lights - that worries me too so I have them on the outside now as per Jim's suggestion.

    And a very good respirator is essential with double filters and disposal cartridges - cant smell a thing in there! And Googles go over my glasses as well!

    cheers
