The {{PAGENAME}} is space where Maker Hub users can paint, stain, dye, sand, mix resins/epoxies, and apply finishes to a workpiece. The ventilation system pulls 4 exchanges of air per hour which helps minimize a user's exposure to toxic fumes, dust, and other respiratory harms. Because of the volume of the exhaust system in operation, hearing protection is also recommended. Ear plugs are available from the dispenser mounted on the south wall of the machine shop.

Potential health hazards include exposure to chemicals such as paints (aerosol paint cans, stains, varnishes, latex or water based paint), silicas, or fine dust from sanding operations. An individual may be exposed through inhalation or dermal absorption. Organic solvents and vapors through inhalation or absorption have been linked to central nervous system disorders. In addition, skin contact may cause dermatitis and localized skin irritation. Exposure to additives and paint pigments such as lead, cadmium, and chromium is considered highly toxic. Sanding operations can create fine dust that can be inhaled.
