Spray Booth
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:02 AM
It's a lot more effective that having a public feud...
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:42 AM
I am not going to wast another keystroke on someone like you.
I apologise for showing my frustration I usually keep it in check but some times.....
I actually am on the side of building your own.
A good nights sleep and a fresh outlook is all I needed.
Good Night Rob,
Apology accepted.
Don't go to sleep with that cigarette in your hand, you don't want to blow up any more 18 wheelers.

Pat, I wasn't trolling for an argument and that is the last thing I want being a new member here. But as you found out I am not afraid of one either.
As far as I can see the issue is over. I am really the kind of guy that does not hold a grudge and I do try to get along with people so lets just call off the junk yard dogs and move on.
I think I have a lot to contribute to this forum as well as a lot to learn so I am not going anywhere and hope you accept that. If not then we can use that Ignore button and "never the twain shall meet"

also, i was wondering if anyone here has made a booth for a spray booth?? meaning a designated small room or area that is sealed for painting, like the 1:1's do.
Posted 14 April 2012 - 06:26 AM
...Rugged, compact in size and easy to assemble. This portable booth features galvanized metal panels for easy cleaning and durability. Working dimensions are 30-inch wide by 16-inch high, perfect for all your hobby and craft spraying. Equipped with two 115 Volt fans. Not intended for use with hazardous materials, flammable or explosive paints or materials. If necessary, wear goggles and/or protective paint and vapor mask. 4-inch dryer duct adapter included.
Huh? A spray booth they claim is "perfect for all your hobby spraying" that is "not intended for use with hazardous materials, flammable or explosive paints...????"
Isn't that like selling a can opener with a warning that it is not intended for opening cans?
Is this just another case of lawyers gone wild?
Posted 14 April 2012 - 08:46 AM
Those little "Hobby" type Spray Booths are built for a profit not performance.
So it looks like all one can use with the Paasche Booth is water based paints.

Buyer beware, I guess.

While it would be a rather small amount, Yes I would shut the AC off while spraying!
The less air movement you have (other than the booth) the better!

I have some observations and a question on the subject of masks and overspray. Seems to me that any spray device, aerosol, airbrush or even pump, is going to leave some airborne particles. Many years ago at an ad agency where I worked, we had a Xerox machine that kept breaking down. We couldn't figure out why until the Xerox guy said he kept finding gummy stuff on the machine's drum. As it turns out, this was 3M Spraymount that we used for mounting layouts to board - our spray booth (unventilated) was about 15 feet away from the copier, and we couldn't smell or see any problem. I wonder if it would be wise to turn off any air conditioning in the room while painting, since the fans might pull particles away from the booth? Any insights on this?.
SJordan, Unvented is the key word here.
Also take a look at my Paint Booth and the baffles (front upper and lower) that are designed with it.
These baffles force any overspray back into the center of the Booth where incoming air and outgoing air drag it through the fans and out.
Build your Paint Booth with enough fan power and you're fine.
If your fans are insufficient or your Booth is designed poorly then air pressure and paint coming from the AirBrush can overcome the efficiency of those fans.
But, we don't AirBrush with very high pressures.
Remember, you ae not spraying at 100psi nor is your finger taped down to the trigger in a constant on positiion.
Very little paint flows through an AirBrush as you make each pass.

Sad thing the outlandish warnings everything has to have attached to it.
Like a coffee cup having to tell you the coffee is hot!
Or the sign above the urinal saying "do not eat the giant mint"!

Chris, in the end like with all things the mfg is trying to stay ahead of frivolous lawsuits that are dreamed up daily by bottom feeding lawyers.
Sad thing the outlandish warnings everything has to have attached to it.

I think you're right... it's the lawyers doing a "CYA" thing.
I mean, when McDonald's has to print a notice on their coffee cups to warn us that hot coffee is hot, you know the lawyers have completely taken over...
Posted 14 April 2012 - 04:12 PM
I see it this way. If you can afford to buy a good booth or don't feel comfortable building your own then go for it. If you can't afford one or just like to build things then be smart and be safe.
I agree that overspray dust (and any other dust for that matter) can burn and I KNOW that propellant from spray cans is flammable so you can start a fire from a sparking motor. If you think that people are just trying to scare you fine, but rip on someone for trying to keep others safe and don't whine about it or go looking for donations to help rebuild your house if it burns down.

You have every right to gamble on your own safety, but please consider family that my be affected.
Here is a good read on bath fans. Bath fans are the cause of many fires when being used for the purpose they were made for. Add flammable fumes and guess what could happen.
I have replaced hundreds of burnt fans over the years, most just scorching the inside of the housing. I know for a fact if those had paint fumes running through them it would have been disasterous.
NFPA Fact Sheet: http://www.nfpa.org/..._fact_sheet.pdf
Fans in 2006-2010 were involved in an average of 3,880 home fires per year, resulting in an average of 13 civilian deaths, 130 civilian injuries, and $77 million in direct property damage.
Portable fans were involved in one-quarter (23%) of the fan fires, 82% of the fan deaths, and 47% of the fan injuries.
Half (52%) of the stationary fan fires started in the bathroom, while nearly half (45%) of the portable fan fires started in the bedroom.
Recall: Box fan, Fire danger, for you window fan users

i'm going with pats idea of making my own with bathroom fans because they do have to deal with explosive gases,methane,hair spray,to name a few.i would like to have more money to spend on my models. plus check your dryer venttube most are full of lint that will burn your home down first.
BLever, as a self-reliant Artist who likes to design and build the tools I use in my Shop, I admire your drive.
Like all Forums ther are many Members who come here just for the info and rarely post.
I've received several PM's and Emails from those here who want detailed info on building their own TableTop Paint Booth but are hesitant to post not wanting to be hit with the usual bombardment of unbased negativity from a handful of people.
Don't let anything get in your way.
The whole world today gained proof to not believe old wives tales or urban gossip.
Build your Booth, use it and become better at what you do.
If you have any questions, just do like the others here and write me.
The sky is not falling and as a Hobbyist you are ahead of the pack when you think out of the box and don't walk the line.

The National Fire Protection Association if far from unbased. The NFPA is the world standard for codes when it comes to fire, including the National Electrical code. They do real fact based research, not I used mine for umpteen years and nothing happened.
Any post suggesting it is safe to use bath fans or cheap hood fans for paint fume removal should be deleted from all forums. I am surprised this forum takes the liability risk to allow such dangerous "How To's" to be posted here.
I am happy to say I have not seen a bath fan explode while being used as a paint booth, and don't want to see it. BUT, I have seen hundreds of burnt bath and kitchen hood fans, some did severe damage to the home, most just scorched the housing.
Even the most uneducated person should be able figure out what would happen if paint fumes were passing through the fan when the motor fails.
I am NOT against anyone building their own paint booth, just use the CORRECT fan. In reality you should be able to buy a squirrel cage fan for what three bath fans cost to get the same CFM.

Now at Bienvenue Theatre, these two one-acts close a long chapter in the lives of George, Ben and Johnny, three "nonconforming" high school boys (does such an animal exist?) who have acquired, over the years, a whole slew of adoring fans. I overheard one opening-night zealot coo that she'd driven all the way from Austin to catch the show.
It's no wonder that Nash has such a following. The writer-actor plays each and every one of the 30-plus characters in these one-man shows with a gleeful, energetic joy that is at once compassionate, ironic and richly textured. Not only is each character carefully drawn with nuance that manifests itself in the curve of Nash's spine, the smirk on his lips or twist of his wrists, but these characters also appear regularly on stage together, not in a series of monologues. Nash snaps with astonishing grace and speed from one to another as they bicker, tango, French-kiss and share bong hits, stomping their teenage way toward maturity.
There's Jenny, the silly, skinny, giggling valley girl who tosses her hair whenever she's upset and adores her best friend, Maria. Mr. Kant is the cowboy government teacher who strides across the classroom with a loose-limbed, bow-legged limp as he rails against politically charged "misnomers" such as "friendly fire" and "smart bombs." One of Nash's most exotic characters has to be Norman Normal, a sociopathic computer supergeek who attempts to dazzle girls with his impressive mental catalog on the ways of murder: "I could kill you with this pen, right now," he snorts with pride.
At the center of this quadrilogy, though, are Johnny and his best buds, George and Ben. The Kerouac-like Johnny is a tough as nails poet-kid who wants to be a real writer someday. But in Junior Blues, set in 2013, he struggles with the fact that his brother, Richard, is a soldier bunkered down in some far-off Middle East desert waiting for the bombs to drop. Richard, who is able to speak to his family via a pen-phone that transmits images and sound, advises his teen brother, Johnny, to do anything to avoid the draft, including "boff his buddy Ben."
Apparently gays still won't be allowed in the army 13 years from now. But Fag Rock will be all the rage and Fag Boy the hottest pop icon. AIDS is still around, and the Internet is still a pedophile's dream. Ben, who's gay, hooks up with all the wrong men on-line and learns a lesson about sex the hard way. Meanwhile, George, who was last seen in Sophomore Slump sleeping with his father's girlfriend, Julie Rose, is working on coming to terms with dear old Dad.
In Senioritis, the same group of characters have been thrown back in time, circa the 1950s. Each of Nash's one-acts happens in a different period. Freshman Year Sucks! reveals the excesses of the '80s, while Sophomore Slump covers the nihilistic '90s. This conceit underscores the universality of teenage pain: Who among us can't recall feeling, at some point during our adolescence, as if we were nothing but a raw walking nerve ending? But, even more interesting, skipping through the decades allows Nash to deepen his story by exploring the politics of the age.
In 1955 Ben is certainly not out of the closet. Instead, he trolls Hermann Park late at night looking for sex and trying to figure out who he is and why he's so different from his friends. In one astonishing scene Nash actually has Ben dancing the tango with the man of his dreams. Both characters spin across the stage fully imagined and somehow utterly real.
Johnny too struggles to find himself. He wants to be a poet, but everyone tells him that "writers don't come from Houston." They come from New York City and Chicago. He finally decides he wants to marry his girlfriend, Maria, but questions of culture and race make it harder than it would be today.
And poor George, who has struggled through school ending up with nothing but a "fistful of C's" to show for it, decides to enlist. In one of the funniest scenes of the night, Nash creates the drill sergeant from hell, who shouts the already submissive George into a puddle of cowering "Yes, Sergeant"s. Nash never skips a beat, slipping back and forth from the sergeant to George, pushing the idea of the one-man show to its most hilarious and impressive limits.
Nash's show is certainly worth a trip from Austin. Seeing as the show is being billed as "off-Broadway-bound," this might well be your last opportunity to catch it anyplace in Texas for a while.
Junior Blues and Senioritis run through January 30 at Bienvenue, 3722 Washington Avenue, (713)426-2626. $15-$20.

I had my 37 week appt. today and my midwife did a cervical check. The freaky part was when she took her fingers out they had a good amount of blood on them. I was like WTF!? And she goes " oh my looks like I popped a blood vessle. It's okay, that's normal." When I got off the table to get dressed their was blood on the paper too, which kinda freaked me out...haven't seen blood like that for 9 months! Has anyone else had a similar experience, and did you end up in labor shortly after or experience other things from it? Im dialated to 2cm and 70% effaced, baby is engaged she said, but Im not ready yet!
Cervix check concern..TMI
Posted 06/12/2013
I had my first cervical check yesterday and the same thing happened. My doctor told me it was nothing to worry about. She said it would stop bleeding shortly but I might have brownish discharge for a day or two. And I do... Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow. Even though I know it is nothing to worry about it is very disconcerting to see!
Posted 06/12/2013
Normal. I never saw it with my first or second but I bled pretty good when he checked me with my third. Happened from two cervical checks. Freaked me out but all was good. Don't worry about it ;)
Posted 06/12/2013
I had bleeding after my cervical check at 35 weeks (I was 2 cm and 70% effaced too). It was a painful cervical check. It's normal. Just watch for it to go away. I had bright red blood when I wiped for the first few hours and then it started turning brown and was gone by the next morning. I just had another cervical check on Monday and it didn't hurt near as bad...still same dilation/effacement...and no bleeding that time.

1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, Jude: A Commentary for Bible StudentsDavid Case, David W. Holdren, Wesleyan Publishing House
Francis Schaeffer once remarked that America is a post-Christian nation. If this is true, 1 Peter may well be one of the most relevant books in the New Testament. This small letter has much to say to individuals living in a non-Christian society. This commentary explores ke... Read More
This commentary explores key issues that may explain why 2 Peter is one of the least read books of the Bible. The relationship between 2 Peter and Jude is given special attention. Five major objections to the Christian message, as presented by false teachers, are presented and Peter's rebuttal to each is noted. 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John and Jude is written with pastors and local church teachers in mind. Drawing on excellent biblical scholarship, this compelling commentary offers clear applications that impact the daily life of followers of Christ. This study provides excellent insight on the nature of Christ, the dynamic power of love, and the essence of holy living.

Here's something new and way cool: This week's market commentary made its way into both the Up & Down Wall Street column as well as The Trader column in Barron's print edition.
(If I were to ignore my own advice about being a middle-aged white guy, I would ask "How whack is that?" but I know better, so I won't go there . . .)
Bubble 2.0 is the first column, with Randall Forsyth stepping in for Alan Abelson. The excerpt:
"Indeed, with deals seemingly endless in number and boundless in size, the stock market has entered a proverbial melt-up that probably will continue until John and Jane Q. Public get sucked in. With the billions being thrown around by private equity, hedge funds and foreign-government funds, what else would you expect?
On the latter score, the central banks abroad are getting a little restive sitting on trillions of dollars of reserves parked in boring Treasury notes. Japan and China have announced plans to emulate Singapore in investing some of their cache in something other than cash, like stocks, for instance.
This influx of liquidity has produced a seeming paradox — a rapidly accelerating market set against the backdrop of a rapidly decelerating economy, writes Barry L. Ritholtz, chief market strategist of Ritholtz Research & Analytics. "This is now a trading market, where momentum and trend dominate, increasingly detached from the decaying domestic fundamentals."
To attempt to square that circle, investors have been rotating increasingly to the big-cap names that populate the Dow 30 and dominate the Standard & Poor's 500. While the U.S. economy's growth slowed to a crawl of 1.3% in the first quarter, S&P earnings so far are posting gains on the order of 7% to 8%, twice the lowered expectations going into earnings season. And much of the those earnings gains are coming from overseas, in part because they're being translated into depreciated dollars.
As for the economy, proof of the continued slowdown arrived Friday morning in the form of another punk employment report, in which only 88,000 folks were added to nonfarm payrolls in April, the fewest in any month since November 2004. The unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage point, to 4.5%, which actually understates the weakness. In the household survey, the one used to calculate the jobless rate, some 392,000 folks were estimated to have dropped out of workforce. If you're not pounding the pavement for a job, you are not counted as unemployed. Had they been, the jobless rate would have been up 0.2 percentage points."
The second piece is the The Trader column, "Even the Bulls Aren't So Bullish." A quick excerpt of the same:
"But after a long rise, still-confident investors who grow wary of high prices start taking profits in their broader portfolio and funnel those toward blue chips. "The longer the broader averages make little progress in an environment of blue-chip strength, the more likely a top is forming," [Miller Tabak's chief technical analyst, Philip Roth] says.
To Barry Ritholtz, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Research & Analytics, the juxtaposition of rising stocks and a cooling economy makes this "a trading market, where momentum and trend dominate, increasingly detached from decaying domestic fundamentals." A melt-up to Dow 14,000 would not surprise, Ritholtz says, but that represents a risky "trading, not investing, opportunity."
Whether the rally is slowing — or, as the bulls prefer, consolidating — remains to be seen. For days, the benchmarks have made new highs on dwindling volume and waning leadership. Yet, sentiment is far from excessively bullish. In fact, short interest that is nearly 18% above a three-year average suggests there are skeptics, and money on the sidelines, that might still be converted."
How unbelievable is that? I am honored and humbled and tremendously appreciative of the work getting recognized.

Another guest musical director for FNJ this week: Eddie Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street on Artie Shaw. Take it away, Eddie:
Artie Shaw was cool. Not Elvis cool or Sinatra cool, but a darker, more subdued cool.
What Shaw did was make things look easy. Check out this clip and notice how, even after six decades, his music hasn't aged a bit. It's still fresh and smooth. It's just…cool. (You gotta love Shaw's reply to the compliments: "Yeah, yeah. Glass of water." Pure cool.)
Artie Shaw was the very last of the big bandleaders. He died a year ago at age 94 and fifty years after his last performance. He wound up outliving all the greats—Goodman, Herman, Miller. Those names may loom larger today, but back then, Shaw's star was the brightest. He was making $60,000 a week—not bad for the Depression. With America poised to enter World War II, Time magazine reported that Germans' vision of America was "skyscrapers, Clark Gable and Artie Shaw."
Fascists, apparently, have issues with tall buildings.
When Shaw hired Billie Holiday, he became the first white bandleader to hire a full-time black singer. But Shaw detested the limelight. In fact, Shaw hated the words "jazz" and "swing." No, he considered himself a musician. He hated the audience. He hated the singers. He hated the dancers. He hated other bandleaders ("Benny Goodman played clarinet. I played music.")
By 1951, Shaw walked away from music altogether and became—what else?—a dairy farmer. Crazy, maybe, but cool in its own way. Duke Ellington told him, "Man, you got more guts than any of us."
So what did Shaw like? Women. Lots and lots of them. He was married eight times. He nabbed Betty Grable which would have pleased most men. Not Shaw. While they were engaged, he ran off with Lana Turner. (Whoa, Duke was right!) Shaw had an affair with Rita Hayworth. He dumped Judy Garland. He married Ava Gardner before Sinatra. How in earth did he have time enough time for music?
Ah, the music. Brilliant. Here's an example: In 1938, Shaw took an obscure and forgotten Cole Porter song and made it a jazz classic. Have a listen to "Begin the Beguine."
If you're keeping score, that's a Jewish bandleader playing Negro music written by a homosexual.
Exceedingly trivial trivia: "Begin the Beguine" has been performed a gazillion times since. In the movie, The Rocketeer, it's performed by Melora Hardin, who's better known as Jan in The Office. (Told you it was trivial.)
If you've never heard of Shaw and want to get your feet wet, I'd recommend: The Very Best of Artie Shaw
That pretty much has it all. Personally, I love "Star Dust" and "Deep Purple." Wonderful stuff.
Two others you might enjoy are: The Complete Gramercy Five Sessions (all the big band guys made smaller bands after the war); and Last Recordings: Rare and Unreleased.
BR adds: Thanks Eddy — nicely done. There is a terrific recording of Shaw over at NPR: Performance by Shaw of Shaw's 1940 Concerto for Clarinet

The Payroll numbers are out, and they are not particularly pretty:
88,000 new jobs were created in April, according to BLS. This is the weakest job gain since November '04. Cumulative revisions for prior months were to the downside by 26,000.
As expected, losses were in Manufacturing (19k), Retail (26k) and Construction (11k). The weakness in Construction has been very uted, implying that the full impact of the housing slow down has yet to be fully realized.
Biggest gains were had in Services (116k), Education and Health (53k), Gov't (25k) Professional (24k) and Leisure/Hospitality (22k).
Temporary help jobs fell for a 3rd month (January was flat) making 4 consecutive months of no gains. Temp help tends to lead employment gains, and this weakness can be read as a future forecastor of employment.
We don't pay close attention to the Household survey, (the self reported number is very volatile) but the drop of -468k was an eyebrow raiser.
Birth Death Adjustment: A whopping 317k B/D adjustment — that is the single largest "adjustment" on record for any single given month. And despite that giant add, the number was a very soft 88k.
To put this into some context, of those 317k new jobs hypothesized by BLS, 49k of those supposed jobs are in construction. Now what are the odds of that?
While Wall Street celebrates the upcoming recession, let me remind you that this economy requires about 150k new monthly jobs to merely keeep up with population growth.

... some of the bags were unattended, but Dr. Hedstrom was right there by them so he said something to her about them. Describing it might not make it seem interesting, but it was pretty funny. We are getting ready to board the plan and my excitement is starting to rise. I am pumped to head back to Europe and experience the culture of Ireland and England. It will be a chance of a lifetime and I am going to embrace it all. ...
Travel Day
... dark very quickly and although it only felt like a little after 6 when we arrived, it was after 8pm Chicago local time. We were right down the back and had a constant line in the Isle next to us as the only two toilets were at the back of the plane!! And, at least ALL passengers peed at least twice, in Sammys case, three times! It wasn't the smoothest landing we've ever had and we landed so far away from the terminal, we taxied for about 15 minutes!!! ...

... buddy!
Well that is all for now! Just kidding, I forgot, when I went to the bathroom, I went in after a tiny old lady, who had very clearly not put the seat down and instead squatted on it, as her dirty shoe prints were clear on the rim...Yep, I am definitely returning to Asia...
Until next time, I'll be flyin' along (literally... for like 9 more hours!!! BARF!)

Earlier this month, several residents appeared at the village board meeting with a list of over 30 questions about the project, which has been under discussion for a couple of years.

McGarvey Custom Homes' breaks ground for Cipriani villa model at Quail West
McGarvey Custom Homes has broken ground for the Cipriani villa model in the La Caille neighborhood at Quail West, the 1,180-acre private golf course community in North Naples.
The Cipriani will feature 2,965 square feet under air, three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a study, an outdoor living area with a sculptural free-form pool and spa, and an outdoor kitchen with a Lynx gas grill, cypress cabinetry with louvered doors and granite countertops.
An iron gate will open to the Cipriani's welcoming courtyard that will serve as entrance and an additional outdoor living area. An arched, wood-framed glass door with wrought-iron details will provide an elegant entry to the home.
The Cipriani model's crisp, modern interior is being designed and executed by KVS Interior Design in Bonita Springs. Hardwood flooring will be used in the study while the primary living areas will feature polished porcelain tile. The kitchen will include raised panel cabinetry in a Bavarian cream finish along the perimeter and an island base done in a dark brown stain. Granite countertops will be featured throughout the space that will also include a GE Profile appliance package.
A hand-hewn pickled oak piece in the foyer will have a contemporary Asian feeling that will convey a lightness that will be found throughout the home. Matching contemporary mahogany pieces and art will provide a transition to the great room. The great room's sofa and armchairs will have a high-gloss mahogany finish and textured linen fabrics that will convey a fresh feeling. An area rug will feature aqua marine colors with a bit of taupe while lime green and cobalt blue pillows will provide accents to cobalt blue leather ottomans.
La Caille is an enclave of single-family villa residences ranging from 2,700 to 3,600 square feet. These single- and two-story homes offer balconies and terraces, and a courtyard design with an outdoor living area and cabana.
The fully furnished Cipriani model is offered at $1.11 million. Completion of the Cipriani model is anticipated by late September.
