I've got a couple doors I need to spray after sandblasting. I've got a pretty nice garage I don't want to mess up. Unfortunately weather does not me allow to shoot Epoxy outside - Any tips to keeping mess down. thanks
If you are in a cold climate and you are using heaters the warm the room don't spray water on the floor. It can cause the the humidity to sky rocket. Also make sure that the heaters are not the type that has any open flame. If possible I would wait until you get a warmer day and then do your spraying
I think what I will do is run my garage furnance to 70 shut it off then spray. Open it up and let air circulate and then shut it and turn the furnance back on. It is pretty insulated. I already have blasted the fenders and want to shoot before surface rust builds up. I'll just cover everything up including the floor - good tip on wetting. Since I'm just epoxing not too concerned about junk it primer. Just don't want to mess up garage too bad.
If it's your floors you're worried about, try this: wet your floors and carefully lay down Visqueen plastic sheet. It typically comes in rolls and you can find it at Home Depot or places like it. Putting it down with water on the floor actually helps it stick. Cut it to length to fit your floor and be careful walking on it since it will be slick. Now you can paint or prime without fear of ruining your nice floors and simply peel it up when your done.
