Default Re: New to Powder Coating

Any powder or dust in a high enough concentration is explosive. That being said, I doubt you'd kick up enough dust to get a bang.

Filter the exhaust air before it hits the fan, filters are fairly cheap and your fan will last longer.

Size your fan so you have 100Cfm for every square foot of opening on your booth. That should keep the dust contained...
A speed control on the fan would be nice too.
IMHO
