The {{PAGENAME}} is space where Maker Hub users can paint, stain, dye, sand, glue, 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. During operations, ventilation must be continuous during spray or sanding operations and for a sufficient time after operations have stopped to allow the vapors from drying coated materials, dust from sanding to settle, and residue to be completely exhausted. Work shall be positioned as far back as possible into the paint booth for the booth to provide adequate protection to the user.

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.
