Have a question for those of you who refinish or put new finishes on instruments-

Do you think this room could safely be adapted as a paint booth?

Measurements are roughly 7..5 feet long by 5.5 feet wide by 8 feet tall-

They is no active ventilation or windows. Could I safely spray with a P100 respirator in the time that it would take to lay down a single coat?

In my opinion:
1. The room is too small for me personally given no ventilation. Lot's not "No's" on that room. I've never been in a paint booth that small. You will be getting mist all over you, if nothing else.
2. Wrong filter. That's particulate only not gasses and vapors, which you definitely want.

I would get something like this: Link Removed
3M P100 Respirator Cartridge/Filter 60923, 1 Pair, Helps Protect Against Organic Vapors, Acid Gases, and Particulates - Walmart.com
Mask like this works very well. I'm happy with mine. I like the quick release. I smell nothing with mine. If you do smell something it's not working or you have the wrong filter and possibly mask.
3M Rugged Comfort Half Mask 6500 w/ Quick Latch System - Walmart.com

Irv is more up on this than I am, so go by what he says.

Thank you for your feedback- I had some doubts about the room but I do have the North half face respirator with the purple P100 cartridges which I’ve successfully used with polyester resins and other organic vapors-

Chocolateria San Gines, Pasadizo De San Gines, 5, Madrid.

To die for.

I don’t know. They look like regular churros to me. Like they sell at Knott’s or the county fair. I was expecting chocolate filling or something exotic.

You are very welcome. The P100 may have worked well, but it's not designed for the nasty things in some sprays. None are good for you and some are death in a can or cancer in a can. Please do use the other filters.

Jeez, those are crawling up in price quick....

They really are. That’s why I bought mine earlier this year. I missed out on an “affordable” sixties bird. After playing Erik’s Bicentennial, I knew I had to have one. I wasn’t going to be priced out of the Bicentennial game too.

I recently had my first Guinness at an Irish Pub a few miles away. With fish & chips, of course. I'm not a big beer fan, but that was good!

Now Guinness. That’s my kind of chocolate!

Kippers and Guinness and you’ll live to 100.

The original “breakfast of champions.”

Nope.

totally.....do folks drink Guiness along with whiskey in AUS?

The Irish reckon Guinness goes well with oysters. It’s a thing in Galway (at least there).

Yes, but not exclusively. More often separately.

No belly cut on my '77 either.

like in Britain....the beer/shot thing I think is uniquely American....then there's boilermakers and car bombs...
