Bester Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have an old kitchen exhaust hood out in my shop. Are these ok to use when making a paint booth? I plan on spraying all different kinds of paint including laquers. Is there an explosive danger with these fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 use an explosion proof motor if you are using solvents and spraying close to the motor. one kaboom is more then enuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
