Recirculating Paint Both?
Posted: Sun Dec 20, 2020 8:28 pm
I am in the early stage of thinking about building a paint both. Probably a semi down draft as a full down draft makes the concrete work more complicated. Probably 14x24x9.
But my biggest concern right now is heat, keeping the both warm. I am in northern Wisconsin and most of my painting will be done in the winter because that is when I have time, so below freezing outside. I hate the thought putting in a big enough furnace to heat incoming air.
This will be attached to my 56x88 shop that is heated to 65 degrees. But if I just stuck the air out of the shop it will cool it down. So I am wondering if anyone has ever had the exhaust from the both dump back into the shop so you are just recirculating the heated air of the shop. I am OK with some odor and fumes coming back into the shop but definitely don't want paint itself covering the shop. Also don't know if their are any flammability concerns. Do they make a good enough exhaust filter to get rid of everything?
