Thanks for the video. Was thinking to help you crease the cardboard for your filter.Maybe use a pizza cutter to crease cardboard first with straight edge then fold over your level.

Viper, that is a really good idea. Thanks for sharing that, and thanks for watching.

A couple of problems with these box fans.. First is that they can most likely spark which is bad if you're spraying flammable solvents. The next thing is that they produce like almost no static pressure so you can hardly run them with a filter.

Another great video. Wanted to upgrade my diy exhaust for the new silver sealer. Love it so much but was tired of all the overspray. I used some inline duct fans I already had but swapping out the cheap AC filter for the Andreae filter because of your video. Keep up the great work! Still super jealous of your garage.

Great device

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Thanks James and I since have added some extra filtration with my used HVAC filters. I just secure them to the back with some tape. Works Really good!

Cool man.

Thank you my fiend good idea

Another question about the Andreae filter material. Can it be cut down to fit my fan box which is 20"x20"? Thanks.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Yes. It can be cut. Thanks for the question.

[@jeffsimon3114]

Great video. How much does that Andreae filter material restrict airflow? I've been using furnace filters and the high Merv filters restrict airflow too much and the lower Merv filters allow some of the overspray to pass through, so if that Andreae filter doesn't restrict airflow and captures all the overspray, that's perfect, thanks.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

JT, very little restriction. The filter looks like thin cardboard with holes cut in it. When I first saw it, my question was...how is that going to work? But sure enough! It works great. Never used it before this project and I am very impressed with it. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

What about enamels or other flammable stuff- im building something but I need a explosion proof fan to prevent fire from sparks in motor mixing with solvents

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Nmerek, the cheap wal mart fans I made this with are not explosion proof. I spray mostly water-based paints. It's more about the filter material. I totally recommend explosion proof fans. They are going to be a lot more expensive but if the paints you are going to spray call for it then that's what you should do. I have sprayed small auto motive paint jobs, guitars, and motorcycle tanks with this fan, but I also had the fan at an open door and the garage door up about a foot for ventilation If I was totally enclosed, I would spend the money and buy the explosion proof fans. Also, I have added hvac filters to the back, I just tape them on. They are cheap and catch any extra. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Tip: start the motor first before spraying. The initial start up will run then the motor will work with magnetic field causing the motor to spin the fan. There is no spark after the initial start so save your money on buying these so called explosion proof fans etc. but if it’s a peace of mind for you then go ahead and purchase them. Anyhow I’m just speaking on how things worked for me and my experience. *This is not professional advice and if in that case you do follow this I’m not liable for anything that may happen to you or your property. **😂😂😂😂😂 just have to put that out there.
