A little more progress on the paint room. The front of the room is built out of two large panels (each about 7' tall and 5' wide) that will serve as removable doors that will allow us to move large plane parts into the booth. We found that they were a bit leaky around the edges, so we added some cheap window gasket around the periphery, and also added some clamping blocks which allow us to pull the pieces together better with some inexpensive Harbor Freight clamps. Removing the panels will be simple, we just have to remove a few hand clamps and 2 bolts to free them. We added a few door handles to make it easier to move the panels around, and also added some small wood blocks to help retain the filters in place.

We sealed off some AC ductwork in one corner of the room with plastic and duct tape, and also installed a block that is used as a pass-thru for the fresh air hoses. You can see the paint hoods hanging from hooks and the white hoses that will bring in fresh breathing air from outside. The paint has some nasty chemicals (isocynates) which are not healthy to breath, so we are playing it safe and bringing in outside air so that we don't risk breathing in anything bad. Hours: 5.0
