We used a table saw to cut the material but a circular saw will work. Local hardware stores should have something usable in stock but thickness, size, and materials may vary. We recommend 1/8' to 1/4' Plexiglas, but you can use any translucent material. This way light would easily shine down into the booth and we would be able to quickly adjust the light depending on where we are and what we are doing. We decided not to include internal lights in the booth itself, instead we used Plexiglas as the top panel.

See below if you want to buy a Vent Works steel filter rack. The filter rack can be made out of wood it could be the same plywood you use to build the booth. When we created the filter rack for our spray booth we used 24 gauge galvanized steel, we are aware that it won't be possible for most people to use this material.

Warning: It may not fit other blowers because flange sizes and bolt patterns vary. Note: You must bend the flange flush with the blower housing for the adapter's bolt pattern to lineup properly. This adapter can be used with rigid, semi-rigid or flex duct. This product enables the Dayton Blower 6FHX9 to be vented using standard 4' inch diameter circular duct. This is when we realized that we could add value if we made this adapter commercially available. After much research we came to the conclusion that there were no adapters commercially available that would properly transition from the square flange of the blower to a round duct outlet. People started asking us where to get an adapter, so we started looking for an adapter that would work. When we built our spray booth we created our own square to round adapter. We used 24 gauge galvanized steel for the fan mount panel so that we could have top or bottom discharge just by flipping the panel. We externally mounted the blower so the motor windings would not be damaged by harmful paint and solvents. This process is extremely simple, it's literally just 3 wires 1 positive, 1 negative and 1 ground. Don't worry you won't need any prior experience or knowledge of electricity to cord the blower. These types of blowers do not come corded so you will have to get a grounded power cord and cord it yourself.
