I placed my cheap box fan against the outside of the filters. Supported the whole thing on some saw horses. Sprayed away! Works well, no KA-BOOMS! Trash it when finished.

>> Smitty Says: Go for it JIm. Use any old box fan or other fan that doesn't use brushes in the motor to draw the fumes and dust out a window or up a chimney. In your case a small squirrel cage fan would do fine. This is absolutely safe unless you do one of two things. Do not operate the fan switch or plug/unplug the power in the presence of the fumes. This may necessitate running an extension cord to the outside where you can plug/unplug power to the fan in a safe area.
