: Ted,

: I just put my final coat of Interlux Perfection on my King. I wanted a clear
: finish with good scratch reistance and chose Perfection. I found the same
: answer as you regarding toxic fumes. My shop is essentially airtight
: (which is great for keeping dust down). I found a new supplied air system
: on ebay for under $400 and decided that any finish work would benefit from
: a fresh air system - even if its not toxic. I used a hood and Tyvek suit.
: I would put on a coat of finish and let it cure overnight. I then would
: air out the shop into the garage for a few days before I would start to
: sand for the next coat.

: While $400 is too much money for many, the piece of mind that comes with
: being able to breathe fresh air when using any process with fumes or dust
: is really nice. It is a product that will only see ocasional use - so an
: option would be to split the cost with a friend or two.

: Steve Rasmussen

That's very likely the system once marketed with the name Hobby Air or something like that. Once popular with the homebuilt aircraft crowd, works well for the price. Some other company I think is now marketing it.

Most supplied air respirator systems are quite expensive, averaging around $7 -10,000. So the $400 is very reasonable in comparison.
