What fumes are generated by the cutter and/or foam? What ventilation are you recommending? This is to be used in a university studio classroom.

We use ours for 1/2 hour or so at a time and have no problem with fumes. There is very little noticeable smoke or odor. But if one used it continuously, there might be a need for some external ventilation.

It should help, just don't apply foam to impede ventilation or where there is heat build up. Make sure area to be applied to is nice and clean

Unfortunately it won't last long in large open spaces, if there is air flow it will wear out in minutes. Any small place like a desk, car or small room is best. It should last a few hours and a lot longer in small spaces. Some people can't ever get the smell out of cars

I 'm not sure but it does produced some smell if you are 2 square feet from the area not whole a lot because O3 is very unstable. It evaporates right away.

I'm pretty sure it says on the can to use in a well ventilated area specifically for this reason. Additionally, most of these products(fixative, finishes, etc..) will have a smell to them and should be used with good ventilation.

Definitely quiet enough for office environment (no loud steam) as to the foam quality for art, I'm not sure, but I think the weight of it over a standard frothing pitcher might be a problem.

Hi Sandee, We bought the machine for personal use, and only use it in a garage. It is definitely loud and would likely cause a disturbance in a salon.

It was not a problem I didn't notice any smell, its quartz electric nothing to burn off. I do the same as the other guy stated in his review i cover it up during the summer when I use my tools in the workshop such as table saw, bench grinder air compresser ect.

No fumes at all in the set we got- they are not very thick- might want to double up- I think they would be fine being taken apart repeatedly as long as you are careful. (And this is a great idea! I might have to take ours next time we go camping! Thank you! )

I have only used the spray and it is not a bad or potent smell. I do close off a door for my animals because their smelling capacity is a lot smaller than ours. Overall I have not had a problem withinhaling any fumes.

You might find it a bit noisy to be right at your workspace. It is powerful, but it's primary design is to catch woodworking dust. Not sure what you are planning to build, but for soldering fumes and the like, this might not be the best solution.

I don't know but what I can tell you is I get a mild smell through the respirator when gluing models. It does cut down a huge amount

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant smell.

What would you want to cut foam with a device that is made to run HO Gauge trains. I could only see problems with using this device for that reason. DON'T DO IT !

it last about 10 minutes to 20 depending on the size of room and ventilated area.its more of a spray it now,smell it in 20 seconds or less kinda thing. if you spray it move away asap.its ten times as stinky than the glass stink bombs that were back in school.its a funny prank if you can watch the expressions on peoples faces as they walk into it.

I think the manufacturer would have to answer that, but I can tell you that there are no fumes as I have experienced when working on wood with Min Wax, etc. The finish is dark, lustrous, and well coated with something protective so that it seems very scuff resistant. I have mine in a knook that used to be a closet. I took the door off a coat closet at the front entrance of my home. Then I assembled the bench inside the knook for shoes. It is beautiful. I made a cushion to cover it. I absolutely love it! I got a mahogany colored one. I put hooks up on the walls in the knook for coats, etc. I'm so proud of this coat knook with the bench. Anne

Building codes aside for a second, I thought odors were an issue and that venting inside will work from a function standpoint, there is the odor issue. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.
