Title: M&R spot cleaning vacuum???
Post by: screenprintguy on November 19, 2014, 10:15:24 AM
Did I see somewhere that M&R makes one of those little vacuum stations for spot cleaning pinholes? I thought I have seen one in someone's pics, but can't find it.

 ;D

We have several DYIs using a melamine box with a 5" hole covered with mesh. Wet dry vac pulls out the fumes and residue. Also mounted to wall mounted exhaust fans. Air gun hangs from ceiling. These have been around for over 15 ys still work perfectly.

We tried a rigg like that a few years ago, but the shop vac took a crap. Thanks for posting the pic though.

Don't use it with combustible cleaners.

Albatross makes a real unit.

I just bit the bullet and bought an Albatross.
The idea is not to use it, but when we do - worth every penny.
