This just shows the previous shot with the exhaust hose inserted.

**SAFETY NOTE**

I've heard over and over and over again that you should NOT set up an exhaust fan setup like this; you are never supposed to have the exhaust pulled directly through the fan, as with solvent based paints there is a chance of the fan brushes generating a spark and lighting off the fumes.  I personally think that the odds of this are very low - okay, if you spray pure thinner into the booth for a solid minute, and THEN flip on the fan, you could probably get a nice fire going.  I always start up the fan before spraying and let it run for a while after I finish.  Never had a problem myself.  But, of course, no one else should do this.  I'm stupid.  There, that concludes the "Cover My Ass" portion of the presentation.  Get yourself a nice brushless fan, or an offset squirrel cage setup where the motor is never in the exhaust flow, and you'll cover all of your bases.
