Tips for Airbrush Overspray? - tanTALK

azucarbambina · 04-24-2004, 02:25 AM

Anybody have a solution for collecting the fog/overspray from mobile airbrush tanning (client's homes, gyms, hotels, etc.)?

I tried the box fan and filter idea and it's better, but I'd like some portable contraption that sucks it all up and keeps it inside.

Thanks in advance for your help, but PLEASE give me details (i.e. name and model of unit you like, where you bought it, etc.).

It is not about over spray. It is about where you can spray in every house and not have to worry about it. I know the answer.

I need help. i am going to ut a portable fan in my airbrush room. how do I set up the fan with a filter or a towel or whatever people use. can someone help? thanks....

Use a regular square box fan and turn it around the opposite way that you would normally use a fan to cool you off, stick a filter on it. Use small bungee cords to hold the cords in place if you have to. It's better than not having any type of extraction at all. If anyone tells ya you dont need extraction fans, then they havent' done a lot of sprays because when your going really fast with them, you can end up in a cloud of fumes.

Ok thank u. now what kind of filters do I use? is there anything else i can use on the back of the fan?

I have a round fan that I use. I just throw a towel over it. I do have an idea that I am thinking of trying. Using batting for quilting, sewing a layer of cotton/fabric on the outer side that wont be facing the fan. Then using velcro (the kind that actually has an adhesive side) to hold it in place. I have yet to try it but it sounds good in theory...lol!!

Oh forgot to add that another good thing about it would be that it would be washable.
