    Confused ventilation once again

    Hi All
    Sorry to bring this up again
    However I am moving to a new retail unit
    Which has no possibility of an outside vent
    As I will have a lab I am worried about the fumes/smell from the lenses
    Not worried about tinting as I will not do this here
    I am thinking filtration systems but are they really good enough?
    Maybe I should not take this unit (nothing signed yet)
    Thanks!
    Alan

    Use Cris's stuff, no fumes. Excellent tinting.

    Keep your thermostat set to fan on and change the filters often.

    I dint know how good these filtration systems are to filter out the smell.
    If your in an central air conditioned unit with other offices the smell might still escape and you will have problems with other tenant, whi will get the health department check you over.

    By the way, not tinting in you own premises is not a wise idea. Giving the service of tinting is one of the advantages one has over other optical retailers who have to send them out.

    Move to a different retail unit that does allow you to vent to the outside.

    no. A standard A/C system. Stay away from dry cut systems. They produce more dust, makes smoking look safe.
