Some thoughts:
I never use sprays inside. 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
