The room is supplied with compressed air for air brushing/spraying. Unless you are certified on the air brush, all painting should be done with a rattle can. For legal reasons, GFU employees cannot recommend specific respirators for any painting, spraying, or dusty activities you might perform. Finishing Room users are welcome to bring their own respirators or dust masks, but they must conduct their own research on which respirators/masks they should use to protect them from the fumes and/or dust they will be creating. There are N95 and P95 masks available from the [[Tool Room]] for users to wear in the Finishing Room.

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 create fine dust that can have negative health effects if inhaled. Know the hazards involved with the materials you are using, check any applicable SDS sheets, and read any labels for proper usage instructions. ''Are the dust or vapors harmful to breathe? Is it flammable? Will there be a chemical reaction?'' Please do your research and notify the Maker Hub staff of any harmful chemicals, vapors, or dust you might be creating <strong>BEFORE</strong> you begin your work in the Finishing Room.
