I don't know the answer. But I'd look for some expert advice on this first before I made any decisions. The problem I have with devices that move air efficiently is that the ones that actually do their job well are not small, or cheap, or quiet. Wall or window mounted vents are an elegant & cheap solution with basically no footprint, the problem is that along with the air that they extract they also extract any warmth you would have built up in your room. Which I would think is a problem in the winter in Sweden. Anyway sorry I don't have a solution but if there is a practical one I'd also like to know. I'm just suspicious of small cheap devices that make big claims when it comes to moving and filtering air, from experience with woodworking dust I know that they simply don't work. But dust is dust and fumes are fumes, maybe it's a whole different story. Honest answer: You have to read the MSDS sheet for the specific product you are using, it will tell you how dangerous it is to breath and what respirator is needed and any filtration or venting problems such as flammability.

Home depot will cut it for you Have them cut a 4'' round hole in the plywood attach this to your widow. When you want to glue, open the window, when you are done close the window build a box, again they will cut it for you. Buy a bathroom vent fan ''fart fan'' attach the fan to the box, use 4'' flex duct from fan to the window Yes, that's an awesome solution. And i wouldn't even need a box, I could have a flexible arm over my desk with something looking like this. And you gave me an excellent idea. Back in the days I had a projector, and the projector screens that work decent in a room that isn't completely dark is (and was even more expensive) So I thought about solutions to make my windows completely dark. And that solution would work for this. I don't know the English word, but the sides move in "rails". I took a photo online and added an outlet for exhaust. I can open just the bottom part of my window and look it there (like a small gap) when im finished, I remove the exhaust hose and fold everything up almost to the top of the window. This forum is really awesome. I really appreciate your idea, simple effective and cheap. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 19, 2020 CFM Report Posted August 19, 2020 If you have an exhaust fan in your bathroom or over your cook stove you can simply just do your glueing under one of those.

I mean I don't think it needs to be super strong. But I will go for a more powerful fan that I can adjust. A start and stop button on my desk and a potentiometer to adjust the fan, this will be awesome. Really appreciate your idea. Edited August 19, 2020 by Danne Quote

A cooling fan from an old computer would work also for such small projects.

Members Bert51 Posted August 19, 2020 Members Report Posted August 19, 2020 I think @chuck123wapati might have a good idea there, I have used a 12 cm computer fan to remove hot air from the the back of our caravan fridge and that worked good, it moves a lot of air. Being 12 volt you don't need an electrician to set it up for you. Sadly the older caravan fridges don't work all that good once it gets over 34 °C and along the Murray just after Christmas it's around 35 to 40 °C in the shade. Bert. Quote

But I think I want something a little bit more powerful. Just did a quick drawing. (Of course the parts will not be red) But with this solution I think I can hide the hose in the bottom drawer when not in use. Edited August 19, 2020 by Danne Quote

I bought mine from greenhouse supplies, it came as a set with the duct and fan speed controller. It's powerful alright, if I forget to crack the window before I turn it on it creates such a vacuum that I literally can't open the door. Basically it replaces all the air in the workshop in about a minute, like I said don't expect the room to stay warm. Edited August 19, 2020 by Spyros Quote
Members Matt S Posted August 19, 2020 Members Report Posted August 19, 2020 I'm looking at something similar for my small (150SQFT/15SQM) workshop. I have to either heat or cool it >50% of the year so just running the extractor fan is dumping expensive energy out the wall. I don't have many health issues from the fumes but don't want to develop them in the future either. Plus it's more pleasant for others to come into the workshop if they're not going to choke after 5 minutes of conversation. What I'm looking at is the small air filtration systems aimed mainly at woodworkers. They can have active carbon filters fitted in addition to the dust filters, which supposedly are good at removing organic solvents and lower-end systems don't seem very expensive. @Danne you would have to weigh up the aesthetic and noise concerns yourself but if you could mount it near where you'll be using the glues I reckon that this will go a long way to keeping your flat less noxious. This is the sort of thing I had in mind: https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-craft-ac15afs-air-filter-106179 Quote
