Target 9300 finish question

The problem is the cumulative effect of the finish - it's not like you reach some concentration in your shop air and breathe that and "Uh Oh, I just gave myself cancer, or other lung disease". The stuff builds up in your body over time.

And if you are not ventillating your shop to the outside, that solvent doesn't just disappear, it's still there on the surfaces of your benches and stuff.

If you are ventillating your shop to the outside without treating the air, the Royal Mounted EPA may want to have a word with you.

Anyway, it's your lungs, your body.

My 2 cents,

Gary

I spray with one of these: http://www.preval.com/what-is-preval

Almost no over spray so the finish goes a long way, graduated glass jar for mixing, lays down a smooth as glass finish and just toss it when you are done.

I am careful when applying the clear and during the time the clear is curing. I always where an organic mask and gloves. If I understand you correct you are saying that the solvents or vapour which evaporate into the air during curing condense back into a solid? I don't quite understand the science behind that but if that is the case then I guess I will have to rethink my procedures some. Thank you for educating me.

Thanks Murray. That looks like a neat little sprayer.
I guess its fair to say that if it gets a pass by you, then it must work well.

For those of us new guys that would like to try spraying without getting into expensive systems right off the hop, it looks like it is a great option.

I'm relatively new to finishing myself. I've had somewhat good luck at time and some times not with a brush. I have had good luck with spot repairs and its 50/50 with the total finishing.

Its a cheap enuff option to be able to give it a try out.

I use one of these for catylized urethane, and I need to thin it a little. Do you need to thin it?

This is a great product. It's been around for decades; I used one for my model cars and planes when I was a kid, a long time ago. As Murry said, no overspray to speak of. It's a nice soft spray. I've never found anything it would not spray well if it's the right (low) viscosity.
