BUILDING A DRYING BOX

[GUNZ-N-HOZEZ]

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??

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.

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:

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.

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.
