Q: I want to put a spray booth in my garage shop to spray oil based paint. Is it necessary to use an explosion-proof motor for the fan?
A: You are asking a legal question, not a finishing question, and I am not a lawyer. My guess is that you want to know if you will negate your home owner’s insurance if you have a mishap spraying flammables in your garage. For that you should speak to your insurance company and your local fire marshal. They can tell you whether what you plan to do is legal and regarded as safe in your locality.

Gentle reminder: A modest donation to this finishing blog can keep it going to help others. Thanks!
