Paint Shop rules:

1. Safety and Equipment

  • Personal protective equipment: Use a respirator and protective gloves when necessary.
  • Ventilation: Ensure that local exhaust ventilation is on during work and after finishing.

2. Working Practices and Cleanliness

  • Dust control: Keep the space as dust-free as possible. Do not use compressed air in the room.
  • Protection: Cover the painting surface with protective paper before starting work.
  • Working environment: Allow other paint work to dry undisturbed. Avoid unnecessary movement to prevent dust from rising.

3. Handling of Tools and Paints

  • Storage: Paints may not be stored in the painting room. Each user must bring and remove their own paints and painting tools.
  • Cleaning: Water-based brushes, rollers, and spray equipment may be cleaned at the painting room wash station. Do not pour paint, solvents, or thinners down the drain.

4. Waste Management

  • Hazardous waste: Take solvents, thinners, and liquid paint waste to a hazardous waste collection point (not available at FabLab).
  • Rags: Dispose of oily or solvent-soaked rags in a lidded metal container (risk of spontaneous combustion).

5. Finishing Procedures

  • Cleaning: Clean the workspace and return tools to their proper place.
  • Shutdown: Leave the local exhaust ventilation on. Lights will turn off automatically.
