    Yep, that'll do it, other than the fact that you just made alot of people very envious. Of course it doen't count as an official gloat unless you post pictures.

    Sorry but explosion proof and cheap don't go togeather. The fans my boss have are about a 20" fan with a 2 hp motor and cost about $2500. They do move a ton of air though.

    This url gives an example of the type fan typically used in a spray booth. It is a tubeaxial and notice the motor is outside the airstream. It moves a LOT of air but is pretty ineffective with high staic pressures.(won't work for dust collection). I didn't check to see if this particular one has aluminum blades or not. For spray booth applications it should have.
