It's that ol black magic. Guess I wasn't clear. The fan thrashing around in air that is loaded with vapors and paint dust will generate a ton of static. A static spark is just as good a source of ignition as a match in these conditions. If having the fans on the out side is a must, you might want to consider squirrel cage fans. They use centrifugal force to pump air rather than thrashing the air with a screw to make it move. Cages are relatively static free.Last edited by 61bone; 07-09-2009 at 01:38 PM.
