    John, Make sure you use this ‘box spray booth’ near an open window or ventilation duct. We had a customer use the same arrangement in his shop. He painted some small parts and went for lunch, when he returned mid-afternoon with a cigarette to take a peek he burned his eyebrows off. VOCs tend to...
