    We have a charcoal 'odor reducer' at work--I never knew that. How do you know when the charcoal is shot?

    When it gets wet and sticky inside, and you start smelling something funny.

    Okie dokie. We laser'd a chunk of rubber sheet the other day, and it stunk upo the whole shop... That's WITH the reducer. In the older days, before the odor reducer, the whole building stunk when doing leather, or foam cutouts. Ugh..

    Robert
    for you exhaust.
    Did you Pearce your cement wall, or did you replace one of you basement windows with a plexi with a hole in it to pass the 4" pipes?

    I cut a round 4" hole in the wall, and inserted one of those dryer hose vent ports through. My outside wall is made out of redwood, as the house is 60 years old in the SF Bay Area, and many homes were made from redwood back then.

    Yes I can cut that styrene, but not fine detail work, just stuff like car sides. The problem is that styrene tends to melt, so fine work just turns into a blob of goo, but structure sides, and roofs are easy to do, as well as car sides and anything bigger than 1/4" square.
