In Response To: Basement advice (Dale Frolander)

: If you build it in the basement, don't forget to wall off the area with some
: plastic. Then make a board to fit in that window, cut a hole in the board
: and install one of those small office fans in it. That's what I did and it
: has plenty of power to make negative pressure in the room to keep the
: sanding dust and epoxy fumes out of the rest of the house. I actually open
: the plastic up a bit to get the air to flow outside.
I use a cheap bathroom exhaust fan ...you can get one at Home Depot etc. for around 20 bucks. it does a good job of moving the epoxy fumes out of the basement and is easy to mount either in the ceiling joists or on the wall.
