I'm hoping somebody can give me some good advice, because I've done a lot of searching and not found much that's definitive.Anyone who has ever tried to spray paint outdoors in the winter knows what a fiasco it is can be. Cold, wind, and falling particulate/precipitation makes it pretty much impossible under 60 degrees.There are a lot of bloggers who talk about creating spray paint booths and such, but when you read their solutions you find that they're usually meant to be used in conjunction with a expensive spray paint device that can handle latex or other low VOC paints, not your ordinary Rustoleum or Krylon.As someone who needs to some paint some plastic stuff this month, I'm trying to figure out how to do this reasonably safely indoors.The best post l found on specifics for masks/respirators is this one from Family Handyman (basically, you need P100-rated respirator with a carbon filter). But it still talks about using it in the context of outdoors, not inside.Wondering if, for the first 12-24 hours of drying, I:*use such a respirator;*open my window, direct a fan facing out, and turn on the ceiling fan; and*close the door to the room and cover the crack below it with a towel or somethingCan I avoid killing brain cells (not just mine, also those of my 20 lb pup--who already is a little low on them)? After 12-24 hours, will the fumes have dissipated enough to use the room ( I live in a one-bedroom apartment and the best place to do this is my bedroom, unfortunately)?Appreciate any help or links anyone can provide. I am on a budget, so I am hoping that the mask is going to prove to be the most expensive part of this endeavor. I already have the paint, but it's the only option is to purchase a brush on paint and somebody can give a suggestion of something that adheres to plastic well, I'm open to that option, too.Thanks much! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/36bd2Bh
