As you know we also sell finished instruments which means we have to apply some finish. We use a spray lacquer called Deft. This stuff is nasty. So we do our best to isolate it. That is where the spray booth comes in. There is an exhaust fan which sucks all of the noxious fumes out of the building. But if the wind is right, and the doors are left open due to Global Warming conditions, you can still smell it. So if you come and visit us someday and we all have a kind of mindless grin on our faces - it is probably the lacquer fumes.
Also note all of the stuff stored on top of the spraybooth. Even more proof of our lack of space.
