HI ER'1!!
Im thinking about building a drying box/booth for my screens n was wondering, "If I wanted to add a fan to speed along the drying process, where should I mount it?"
Do you have any specs on this? Or should I just try to find an old kitchen cabinet n go that route??

Re: BUILDING A DRYING BOX
In building a drying box I would recommend building it in a way you cold incoperate a dehumidifyer in it. That will be the most effective way. If you chose not to go that route I would set the fan so it is blowing out and covering the intake of the box with a funace filter (prefferably not the super cheap one). This will filter the incoming air to cut down dust contamination.

Re: BUILDING A DRYING BOX
Saati makes great suggestions there. And I would implement them if you can. The only other thing you can do is build a drying box like I did and use it inside the house in a relatively dust free room. As long as you do not have dust and dirt flying in the air all the time you should be okay especially with a high quality emulsion like Saati makes. I use this dry box I made in my garage shop and I have no problems with pinholes or mesh adhesion at all:

Re: BUILDING A DRYING BOX
Nice video J-money Do you know if there is any advantage to having the air-flow going top to bottom as compared to bottom to top? Guessing it's easier to push moisture down and out instead of up and out.

If you're not going to go all the way then why bother going at all.

Re: BUILDING A DRYING BOX
Thank you, I don't think it matters as long as there is some airflow or exchange of some sorts. You could put a filter on the fan intake as well.
