Thread: kerosene Heater in paint area?

Tweet

I wasn't going to use it while painting but thanks for the conformation. I turned him down when he offered it but after being out there with long johns, my wood stove burning and my small electric heater running and still watching my breath turn to steam I almost reconsidered.

Build a plastic wall with some filters to allow heat in and do the same at the door with a box fan pulling the fumes out . Filter on the inside from box fan . Garage will be warm and your fumes will not reach the open flame .

This is a huge furnace fan I use to eliminate fume plus they are spark proof being around natural gas in a furnace . it will clear the air in minutes and pull heat threw filters well.

So are you telling me you use a kerosene heater in your shop? I see a heater in your pic that could be one. I have read in other post after starting this one were people seem to be okay with kerosene heaters. But I don't know if they are talking about the sealed electric kind or the kerosene burning kind.
In a shop that I built several years ago I had a fan like yours and they do work great.

I have been looking into insulation for metal buildings and these guys seem to have the best product at a reasonable price. http://www.insulation4less.com/Insul...l-48-Inch.aspx I was going to start another thread and ask if anyone has used it but I guess I will first ask here to see what kind of response I get. With the aluminum you also get the benefit of more light which I need.
