That's great to hear that the spray booth can accommodate the Fuji's overspray. @Jim D., do you have a Fuji Platinum Q4 or Q5?

 

The cost associated with replacing the pre-filters is also a concern of mine. @Jim D., do you know approximately how many pre-filters you can cut from the 150 foot filter roll (I would calculate this on my own, but I don't know the dimensions of the fan's opening.)? I'm also curious about the grade number on their filters. They don't provide this information on their website unfortunately. Does anyone know the the size range of cocoa butter overspray particles? 2-6 microns, maybe?

 

Also, @Jim D.when you say the pre-filters need to be changed after spraying "a few molds", does "a few molds" mean about 3 molds? And is that what you observe when spraying with your Fuji or what you observe when using some other spray system?

 

Apologies for the many questions. I'm just trying to figure out if this spray system is monetarily sustainable.

Not sure how much the roll is - but a fabric store will have non woven interfacing that is cheap as dirt to buy. 

 

Mine is the Q5 and I've played with both the Q4 at the factory and the Q5 and seem to have less overspray with the Q5 for some reason.  I lie - mine is the Q4 and the advantage was over the Q3. They didn't make the Q5 when I got mine.
