: That's a good idea, I've got casement windows so using them isn't

If your objective is just to keep the epoxy out of the house, and if the workspace is reasonably sealed, not much air needs to be moved . As I mentioned, all I use is five computer ventilation fans which are very low power, but they do the job just fine, and the price was right. A small squirrel cage would also work great, and it would likely run on 110Volts, which would mean no battery charger would be required.

I was amazed at how well this setup worked. Even with warm epoxy while glassing the hull, there was not the tiniest hint of epoxy odor in the rest of the house during the work.

Best regards,
