Hello

Just wondering what you guys think about this...

I am spray painting in my garage, and I have one of these big asz 30,000-80,000BTU heaters that looks like a trash can almost.....

AFTER im done spray painting, the fumes are pretty strong in the garage... do you guys think something like this would ignite with a big flame, or not concentrated enough to do so??

Even now, its been like 20min. since I sprayed, but the fumes are still strong... i dunno if I should turn the heater on (prolly bout 40deg. in garage) or if it's not worth the risk

i just dont want it to get to cold for the paint to dry

im kidding, yeah 20 min is fine enough for the airborne particulates to dissapate enough for a heater to be turned on. But id be more afraid of stirring up dust with that heater.

well right now its dry enough where dust wont stick (im just sprayin a wood box with flex-stone) so dust isnt to much of a concern.

I just dont wanna open the door because its cold out
