I'll try to remember to shoot a couple pictures of the booth.
It's a booth offered by Micro-Mark. I bought it a little more than a year ago, and it's been a good investment. Painting in the house is just too dangerous without one, and here in Wisconsin, I HAVE to paint inside most of the year!
The booth is a "downdraft" model -- the fumes are drawn through a filter in the floor of the booth. They exit the booth through a flexible aluminum tube (the kind used for clothes dryers). I vent the booth through a window -- I built a plywood "plug" that fits in the opened window, and the vent runs through that. I can set it up or tear it down in a couple of minutes, and the plug keeps the fumes (or the cold outside air) from coming back into the room.
I'm probably not explaining things very well. I'll shoot some pictures in the next couple of days to show you what I'm talking about.
Matt
