      Put your epoxy under vacuum before pouring, you will get rid of the air trapped inside during mixing the epoxy. Way less bubbles, like 99,999% less. I dont know if it is problem with wood but with carbon fiber it helps a lot.

  • @discodubber85
    @discodubber85 Před rokem +893

    Ok. I’ve done the DIY paint booth. I can give you a few pointers.
    1) You need to use PLASTIC drop cloth. Fabric drop cloth has loose fibers that can blow around.
    2) You need to put the drop cloth at top, sides, and bottom, and they need to be taped together to seal the area. Also, tape around your ventilation unit.
    3) Your “doorway” needs to be double flapped. By that, I mean that an overlap isn’t enough. Where the curtain parts to allow you access, you need another drop cloth over the gap to prevent the gap from opening up and letting dust in.
    4) You need more slack on your air hose than you actually need because you need to tape it down and seal the drop cloth around it.
    5) You should be wearing booties over your shoes. They’re not just for protecting your shoes, they’re also to keep any dust and crud from your shoes from getting blown around.
    Basically, be as OCD as possible when it comes to prepping the area. Maybe bring your wife out to check the area? Lol

    Engineer's painting tip: After you set up your booth, run a hepa air filter inside the booth for several hours to remove dust and debris from the air. Keep it running while the piece is drying to keep the air as clean as possible.
    Also, if proper ventilation allows use plastic drop cloths for the walls instead of cloth. Cloth gives off lint and dust particles, but plastic is much cleaner and won't contaminate the space.
    Make sure the floor is clean (wet helps) and wear a fresh clean suit. If your booth is sealed from floor to ceiling, then most contamination will come from your clothing. Also make sure the ceiling of your booth is closed so that contamination can't float in from outside.
    Once your booth is set up and clean, make sure you run the air filter for a few hours before you start.

  • @user-yg5mi9tt2u
    @user-yg5mi9tt2u Před 7 měsíci +76

    If you haven’t figured out the dust problem yet from your DIY spray booth, it could be because you were using organic material drop cloths which have minuscule fibers. When the drop cloths are moved or bumped, they will drop fibers in the air and end up in your work. Could consider using plastic or spray your drop cloths with resin or another substance, which could bind all the small fibers, but still allow flexibility in the cloth. Just a thought, not sure I’m right.
    Also, your intake side of your booth if opening is at the top, your particulate matter is falling from the ceiling and ending on your work while being sucked through your vent at the bottom. Sealing your booth at the top and adding an additional filter at the bottom would create a lower entry point and exit point for your air intake and output and may keep particulate matter towards the bottom of your booth.

    From a fellow woodworker who was an auto body guy in a past life... canvas is fabric and holds dust and the like, bringing it into your booth. Plastic makes for a cleaner booth. Also, if you wet the floor a bit, it will hold down a lot of dust and light debris that you're finding in your finish. Makes the early and in between stages a lot easier on you. 🤘 Also, more. love these outside-the-box builds. Keep rockin on, man.

    • @nickzeigler3134
      @nickzeigler3134 Před rokem +5

      100% correct. Canvas for gust control, 5mil+ plastic sheeting on the inside for dust control. Have a filter on the passive INLET side to the 'booth' and keep the outlet(s) at or below floor level. Clean everything, then mist all surfaces with water and leave a decent amount on the floor. Bring in the slab, tack it clean, wipe down with fast drying spirits of some kind, then spray and pray. Sand, repeat.

      Ditto Real Fehlany's remarks. I helped a friend paint a home-built plane a few years back and we created a 'plastic' lined spray booth. We washed down the plastic with a hose and dampened the floor before spraying. We also had an air supply setup similar to what Marc T. described above. It worked really well and the plane won some prizes for its finish at aviation fly-in events.

    • @VelebitMountainMan
      @VelebitMountainMan Před 11 měsíci

      I work in construction and build hospitals. Part of what we do is build infection control so dust doesn't escape the site and infect patients. Never use drop clothes, they are filled with stuff. The best solution for you is Zip Poles, visqueen and tape. Add a zipper or two for access. Install some plywood over the joists, paint it so it seals up the pores and can be taped nicely. Install a negative air machine on one side and another on the opposite side. One machine will run negative and the other positive so you aren't sucking dust from the exterior. Tape all your joints including floor, ceiling and walls. You can adjust the negative air to compensate for the spray gun. Pretty clean and easy solution, whole set up is about $1,500. All the cost is in the negative air machines and the filters.

  • @sams6090
    @sams6090 Před rokem +113

    A real good idea for doing a sterile work place area/spray booth is to isolate it like you did and then use a water sprayer with a fine mist to knock down any floating dust. Also don't use a fabric cloth to isolate things as every single time you touch it, a little bit of the fabric will break off and fall down onto your surface. Use a plastic sheet or at the least try treating your fabric first to strengthen it and make sure to never ever touch any of the walls or disturb the sheeting. Also don't have a blower going inside of the area as it'll still kick dust up and around.
    Also it might seem excessive but you can try doing a secondary layer of sheeting/fabric with a space between the two layers large enough for you to walk through. That way it limits any external air from entering the clean space when you walk between them through the void.

To which I replied "Sir it's not about making mistakes, it knowing how to fix them." That principle is what keeps me coming back for more of BlacktailStudio projects. You make mistakes but watching you fix them is as informative as watching you start the project.

    I know this video is 3 mo old, sorry for the delayed comment.
    I’m not an automotive painter, but do specialize in staining and finishing raw wood among other things.
    I have a couple little ideas that may help.
    The first thing I noticed with your set up was the open top so anything near the rafters in your shop was free to come visit your wet piece.
    Secondly, the drop cloths used are fabric, which can have hairs and lint itself. Even the moving in and out of the booth could have been disturbing those.
    And of course anything that made it in while the curtain was open or on your feet or statically attracted to your “paint jammies.”As I like to call them.
    My recommendation for at home paint booths are actually really easy to get. They have plastic ones now that are sealed all sides and have a zippered entrance. I’ve seen both ones with a frame you can set up and ones that attach to the ceiling to hold open.
    I’ve seen them at Home Depot and Lowe’s. I’d be willing to wager they are available at some paint supply stores most places.
    I hope that helps with the dust and hairs a bit. Thank you for making these beautiful projects.
    You’ve inspired me to add slab projects to my list of goals. I even have a few giant beautiful knotty maple logs that I’ll be having milled and kiln dried before long.

    If you intend to do this DIY spray booth again, look into buying a small wedding tent with all the wall panels. The fabric drop cloth do nothing but release the kraken when it comes to finish work. The PVC wedding tents don't do that, plus they have a canopy which is huge as a significant amount of debris is dislodged from the ceiling from the airflow of the paint gun. I saw another commenter mentioned wetting down the ground (you would be amazed at how much dust gets kicked up). Having a dedicated spray hose, or get a hose cover that is single use. The spray gun is clean, the painter suit is clean, but everyone forgets the damn hose for some reason. If you really want to get obnoxious with the prep and clean you can hook up a negative and positive to your suit and your part. If you think your suit is up to the challenge, try taking a really clean part and rubbing it on your suit. Wait until you see how much debris collects on the suit just from static. If you must stick with the drop cloths, buy a garden pump sprayer and fill it with water, right before you do the final tack spray the drop cloths to the point they are wet. Keep at it, there are so many lessons that are learned only through trial by combat.

When fires do get to them it's not uncommon for the fire to work its way between where the root/tree transition is then slowly smolder, hollowing out the tree. There were trees where I would camp as a kid that were alive and healthy but you could climb through a burnt crack into the trunk and see the charing.

    As long as there is no water dripping from the roof, you cannot water too much.

    More, more more. I absolutely love these burnt, odd shape slab tables. Wasn't nuts about the legs - I feel like with the way they stick out past the edge of the table I'd be tripping over them/bumping into them all the time and they looked a bit too... fancy. You said this in the standing desk video and I totally agree - unusual tables should have simple/minimalist accessories.
    And seriously, Cam, your comments totally slay me. Hilarious. 😅

  • @ForgottenHero87
    @ForgottenHero87 Před rokem +29

    Use a high mil plastic instead of a cloth. You can even set up a both with plastic on rods (kinda like a shower curtain) so you can push it out of the way when not in use. The good thing about plastic is it is pretty cheap to replace if it gets damaged or overly dirty.
    I love these videos! You inspire me to also do dumb/frustrating things that are very rewarding when that eureka/light bulb moment goes off in your head and you figure out a solution to a problem.

    Dust tip. Dust is ALWAYS in the air. No matter how clean a house or booth is. My advice is to have a piece of 1” plywood larger than your project and have it hover about 1” above your project while it is drying to prevent dust and hair from getting into your finished epoxy. Remember that every time you enter the area you have your piece you are bringing dust and hair with you.

    You said in this video that you didn't really like the fact that you could only see the wood grain in the burnt section of the original piece in direct sunlight but personally I think that it looks better than the effect in this new piece.
    High end furniture like you're doing needs that wow factor and I think that the original burnt table amplifies this. When people walk up to the table they're already blown away by the beauty and craftsmanship but then,as they walk around the light hits just right and all of a sudden the hidden gem of that burnt woodgrain hits them.
