Hluch - Kevin A. on fri 13 feb 98
To all:
I am looking for the addresses and phone numbers of spray booth
manufacturers and/or distributors. I have the usual suspects from AMACO
and Paasche and am looking for others. I am aware of at least one other
company in the market that makes one piece fiberglass or plastic ones and
need their address.....If there are others please let me know.
Also, does anyone know if there is a manufacturer of the "water veil" type
spray booth similar to the custom made one published in CM awhile back?
This is the type that is used at Kohler as well.
Thanking you in advance for your help and you can post me off the list.

I am building my dream studio. 24 x 32, eventual kiln room out back, and I
want to build in a spray booth. Does any one have suggestions or plans or a
book to recommend with plans? I'm particularly interested in size and what
kind of exhaust fan to frame for. Thanks you'ze guys.

Dale, I am in much the same position. Have the studio and workroom, wheels
etc. Now started to spray on a Leach kick-wheel. So need to make a booth
before the glaze droplets drop me.
I am thinking about using rigid clear plastic, Perspex for the sides and
top, sitting on the trapezium shaped frame of the wheel. The clear back will
incorporate an extractor to the window behind. The spray gun will come in
from an opening in the right side piece of Perspex and there will be an
opening in the front for putting in the pots and taking them out again. The
Perspex can be cleaned off between glaze colours and the spare glaze saved.
So one can operate the kick wheel to turn the pot at the right speed, direct
the spray safely, recycle the waste, extract to open air. Now, it is just a
matter of making it. Been using some large cardboard boxes as a temporary
spray booth for the time being. That is quite effective. There is certainly
a lot of glaze collected in layers on the vertical surfaces of the boxes.
