    Air Filtration!

    So we just got a new tinter and I am motivated to update our air filtration throughout the lab. I am wondering what people are using for units that do not feed outside. I need to get something that will be handling fumes AND dust. If need be, I will look into having separate units for these purposes, though it would be convenient to get it all in one... and maybe less costly??

    I'd like to hear recommendation on brands and experiences from whoever might have a strong opinion one way or another.

    I looked back at the older threads, but the newest was 4 years old, so I'm hoping there might be some new and improved units available nowadays.

    Thanks guys! My crew and I are grateful
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    You might want to look at this:

    or if you have a little manual skill construct an appropriate size plywood enclosure and put a range hood on top.

    I made a press release 12 years ago, but it is still valid, because the chemicals used are still the same in most cases.
