Step-By-Step Process for Using the Vented Room

  • Set fan and timer
  • Sign in with QR code
  • Setup paper
  • Wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
  • Put away all holding stands and materials after the final coat
  • Absolutely no paint or finishing materials left out, ever
  • Remove workpiece as soon as dry
  • Items left more than 12 hours will be removed


Rules for the Vented Room

  • All hazardous chemicals, including spray paint, stains, and other approved items must be stored in the yellow hazardous chemical storage cabinet located in the Vented Room
  • Review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information of unknown products before use
  • SDS information is available via the QR code on the hazardous chemical storage cabinet

  • Use the correct PPE when you’re painting. Items such as a spray painting mask, and gloves are vital
  • Before you start to use your spray cans, make sure that you store them away from heat and fire. The aerosols are highly combustible, and will cause a lot of damage and potentially a lot of harm.
