RE: Breathing Color Glamor II Giclee Varnish

[EJN Photo <ejnphoto@sbcglobal.net>]

Jack, The prints are inclined at about 55 +/-  degree. The fan is a 16 inch
fan that is inset into the wall/window. There was a broken pane when I moved
into this space so it seemed like a natural fit to make an exhaust that fit
it instead of a new pane. I forget the CFM but it was designed to be placed
in the attic and included a thermostat to drive it when the temp got into
the hot range. The board is peg board but I also use craft paper behind
since not all prints end up being the same size. I USE this for non alt
prints as well. The fan is placed on one end. I also have another fan that
is running behind it. It is only a 60 cfm but with both running it seems to
do a good job. 

Until I can build another work table, and rearrange my work space, I am
using the same area to coat my alt prints. This alone should let you know
thatteh over spray is very contained and I use many feet of craft paper to
cover my coating surface when not in use. 

Photos will follow.
