Hi Clayart,
I can't wait till the day when I answer more questions than I ask. So I
would appreciate some help on the following.
I am interested in building a waterfall type spray booth. However I would
like to know if you feel that this kind of a spray booth is appropriate for
weighing dry glaze materials? Will I risk getting my material wet? Are all
waterfall spray booths NOT vented to the outside? And how much sludge are
we talking about?
I believe it was Bill who suggested looking in the Grainger catalog for
plans, I have talked to Grainger on the phone and apparently they no longer
carry them. Would anyone care to share their experience with building a
waterfall spray booth?
Also a question about magnets...
My triple beam balance is the magnetized kind, I know that some fans also
have magnets. I built a temporary spray booth and my scale does not
cooperate very well. I could not get it far enough away from my fan and
still stay on my table. Do spray booth fans typically have magnets? And if
so how do you combat this problem?
And while I am on this subject, do electronic scales have magnets? I just
got one of those for Christmas and haven't had a chance to try it out in the
booth yet.
Sincerely,
Nikki Simmons

I don't think the problem is with the magnets. More likely is that the air
currents are disturbing the balance of the scale. A spray booth would move
way more air than you need.
Unless you are really sloppy when weighing out chemicals, simply having some
ventilation to the outside, and a good dust mask is probably all you need.
I like the idea of using a range hood over the weighing station, it acts as
a ventilator + it has a good built in light.
