It's too easy to stroll outside and spray whatever I need to spray winter or summer. Inside though, I use a good mask and gloves when working with epoxy or oil paint. That orange-smelling handcleaner is great for cleaning oil paint brushes. I never touch turps or mineral spirits. But what I wanted to say is I used to do a lot of printmaking with solvents etc. really bad stuff. The setup I had was a work table in front of a window with a window fan pointing out. Make a small hood out of cardboard, or plexi to let the light in, and work inside the hood. Bingo, all those fumes leave the room. best, Ed _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
