Does anyone use a spray both? I have just ordered this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CG454GN/ref... . I am struggling with my modelling as any glue or paint fumes are causing irritation in my nose and throat. I sometimes model in a twin filter mask but it isn't comfortable or practical for long term use. I am hoping the booth I bought will have enough flow to remove glue fumes if not paint. I tend to paint outdoors when I can using rattle cans and the mask. If this booth is OK I may get my airbrush back out of storage and start to enjoy modelling again.

What types of paints are you using - specifically, paints you are using with your airbrush?

Tamiya TS rattle cans, and Zero through the airbrush when painting I tend to wait for a nice day and do it outside. My biggest issue is CA glue, if I have the top off for 30 seconds I have difficulty breathing for a couple of days.

Maybe changing your paints and glues might help.

A spray booth is a good thing to have - although it won't do much to alleviate your aversion to CA glue fumes.
