[sdiy] Fume extraction

[Todd Sines]

Speaking of fume extraction, my DIY production and Mr. Fixit repairs have been in high gear over the last few years. 
Not daily, but sometimes it’s all I do for a few days, 8-10 hours a day. I do not want occupational asthma, which I am sure I have been somewhat exposed to. 

What are your suggestions, aside from my current, which is an inverted CPU fan on adjustable “helper hands”, with a scouring pad to catch all of the “bad stuff”? 
It became too much to wear a paint respirator mask all the time. But I hope I don’t regret this.

Thanks in advance,


Todd
