Advice on paint booth
So recently i constructed a paint booth frame out of Pvc Pipe its very strong and doesnt lean or fall over. I decided to use Pvc so that it could be collaqpsed down when not in use.(HOA not a fan of stuff being over our walls.) Anyways i wrapped the booth in painters plastic but it was to thin and ripped, i need some advice on what i could wrap it in, that would be able to be taken off and possibly reused

Try a tarp (a good one, not a cheapo one) or canvas. Easy to store, and keep using over and over.

Greenhouse plastic. It is a bit more expensive, but is capable of a fair amount of abuse, plus it is UV impervious. Best part is that it lets in LOTS of light... Try any garden shop, but shop around for price.

Home depot sells cheap plastic sheets that is like 3-5 mil thick and you can ziptie it up.You unfold them and they're like 10ft x 7ft. Spray down the floor with water before you paint.

try 6 mil poly, it's whats used in houses for vapor barriers it's significantly thicker. can't remember the cost, i'm renovating my basement so I bought it as a 10 foot high 100 foot long roll, but i'm sure you can get it in smaller amounts.

Not good for a paint booth. You are trying to keep dust and particles OUT, not increase them, hehe. :)

tyvek is cheap and comes in large rolls 10 foot if I remember right and easy to seal up either with a srpay on glue or a good masking tape, pain in the ass to work with if your going to reuse besides it pretty noisey
http://www2.dupont.com/Tyvek/en_US/index.html also rip-stop nylon comes in different weight 1/2, 3/4 and 1&3/4 oz. and colors 54 and 60 inch wide and will last a long time if that what your looking for and seal up water tight and no dust...... look for factory 2nds to reduce the cost easy to work with http://www.kitebuilder.com/kitestudio.html |
