Hello!
I did a test run with a non toxic, water based primer and it just didn't quite do the job the way I wanted it. But I am glad I did because I made some experiences with a paint gun. This was my first use of a HVLP gun and I did set up a mini paint booth but it wasn't 100% sealed. I guess quite a bit of fog got out while I was getting in and out.
What I found with the primer that even though the booth was there I had tiny green dust just about in every corner of the shop after the dust settled about 3 days later... Not so nice.
I want to try an Epoxy based primer like Akzo. But I am a bit hesitant due to the toxicity of the product. (Please no Prime war here)
Here is my question: Is the dust that settles still toxic? I mean I am ok with taking precautions while I prime and then let the whole shop air out for a day or two but I dont want to feel like I contaminated my work environment and every time dust moves around in the shop I am vulnerable to toxic particles.
I do not know much about chemistry involved here but I want to do this as safe as possible. I had no proper ventilation on my first try. I will probably build a downdraft type system. If you guys have any safety tips while using this toxic stuff I would be very thankful.
