It's been a while since I posted. Just before Christmas I came down with the flu and was out for seven days. I've been working on the spray booth on and off over the last couple of weeks.
I created a cut schedule for the PVC from my SolidWorks design. This project needed 19 1.25 in. Schedule 40 PVC 10 ft. long tubes and a variety of tee, 3-way and 4-way fittings. Four rolls of 10 ft. X 25 ft. 3.5 mil plastic sheeting is needed for covering the sides, top and bottom. Velcro is used to attach the sheeting to the framework. Lastly, a construction zipper is used for the door.
First was cutting the tubes to length. Once that was finished, it was super easy to assemble the framework.
The tough part was hanging the sheeting on the framework. It's not that it was difficult, but it did involve a lot of work on my hands and knees which was very tedious. I laid out one wall on the floor and starting trimming the sheeting to fit. Some trimming around the fittings was required and the velcro was attached.
I spent about seven hours just getting one wall finished. A lot of that was working out exactly how to wrap the sheet around the frame and attach it. In other words, a lot of thinking and a little bit of doing.
