I just wish my modeling skills were as serious   I was suffering form dust so badly in my work area though, I just had to do smthg about it. It weighs in at 250KG!!!!!!! But at 10$ it was worth the bother to transport it in the car and squeeze it into my modeling room. My sprue cutters cost more  I empahasise again though, that this is not an extraction system - it DOES NOT remove fumes while painting. In fact it does the opposite, it blows 'em right at 'ya. It will remove them pretty quickly afterwards though as it recirculates the air in the room at a healthy rate.

Re: How to avoid dust when spraying ??
You should install an extraction kit for sure. It's like having a good looking ferrari in your driveway but with no engine!

Re: How to avoid dust when spraying ??
I have a spray booth with an extracting fan (cage type, about 100cfm under load) to outside, and what I do is let the fan run for 5 minutes before starting to airbrush. during these 5 minutes I blow air (with the airbrush set at 30PSI) in and all around the spray booth, to lift any dust that has settled there. it works very well, most of the time I do not have any dust particle in my paint jobs now (it used to be very different!!).
Of course the air outside must be relatively free of dust...

Re: How to avoid dust when spraying ??
It seems that's not only a problem of mine.
Thanks everyone again. On the next model I'll try some of your advice. I hope it'll keep dust away (especially during clear cot....arrrghhhh ).

Re: How to avoid dust when spraying ??
I usually spray outside Or in my ''cabanon''(french word, don't know in english, sorry). Only problem is temperature/wind. Of course there's not really dust outside but there is flying bugs!!! One of them was particularly attracted to my Soarer 2800gt...you know the end of the story...
