Venting spray booth

[Pierce]

I finally have my cave done. The only question is where am i going to vent the spray booth. My room is in the basement of my house and the're are no windows. Is there a contraption out there that i can vent into. Kind of like my airbrush pot.

Not that I know of. In the past people have made suggestions about venting into a bucket of water, but the fan has to over come the back pressure created. So not really ideal as it restricts capacity.
It would be possible to vent into a box that had activated charcoal pads so that the chemicals were stripped out. However sometimes the dollar cost in that is high.

For me venting out it's also problem, so since you mention activated charcoal pads do you think somthing like that would work? It's a kitchen hood filter, i also find similar filters in different shapes for air cleaning devices.

As long as you have enough pads so as not to reduce airflow. That is how air conditioners in machines work to keep out nasty agricultural chemicals.

You can do a search for something called a fume coffin. I have seen them mostly for laser cutters as the fumes can be toxic, but the principle should work for just about anything.

is your man cave full finished? Are you located near an Outside wall ? what about a 5" diam. Clothes Dryer "type" vent and ducting directly connected to your spray booth?

I think he has very thick stone walls or a lot of earth to contend with.

Yes it is all finished. The dryer vent is on the other side of the house. I thought about running pvc pipe through the unfinished part of the basement and tieing it into the dryer vent.

If you don't have access to an outside wall! The solutions mentioned earlier might be in order. and "I am not touching" the "tieing into" the C-D vent.
That sounds dangerous. Venting 200+ CFM internally within your man-cave will for sure kick up some dust even if you don't want to... I hope you get yourself a good set up eventually; Best of luck and hope all goes according to plans.
