Okay, I understand the need to vent the fumes when you are painting. Got that part. Yet is anyone using their airbrush to paint in the basement with the heater and water heater about 20-30 feet away that is an enclosed room, is the distance an issue? As it stands, I am nto going to be able to vent to a window or the basement door without allowing a large number of natures' 6-8 legged friends into my house. That would be a no go.

I think you might have a bigger problem with dust than using the airbrush.

As long as I don't blow up the house, I can work on the dust issue. :)

With acrylics, not really an issue. With solvent based paints it becomes a problem.
