I have a small shop and like to build cabinetry (islands, kitchen carts and etc). I like to finish the projects by spraying them. The only thing my shop is so small that I do not have a place to set up a spraying booth. As you would know the dust is a problem. Do any you guys have any answers to my problem?
Thanks for help

I usually prepare for spraying by opening all the garage doors and hitting the area that I'll be spraying in with air to knock the dust off. I then use plastic sheet to cover things I care about. If I'm being anal I'll wet the floor to prevent dust from raising up. I do all this several hours before I begin spraying so everything is settled by the time I'm ready to start. I also have a box fan going with a corrugated furnace filter being sucked against it and pushing the air out the window.

Friend of mine used visqueen, he had 4 pieces attached to the ceiling, rolled up. He did like Dag said prior to spraying, then sprayed, rolled the plastic down around the project & left.
Not 100% but is sure helped.

Having formally having a shop that had a room I built just for finishing and now not having it... Long story, expensive divorce... Now I do the Plastic thing and take measures to eliminate all the dust I can before I drop it... Just like they said give it a good "blow"... Let it settle and then dampen the floor... Drop your movable "Walls" and again let it settle for a short time.. Then give her 'ell.. have fun and good spraying...
