This is the &#8220;Laser Cutter Extraction&#8221; switch near the Technician&#8217;s Office as you enter the Maker Space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the ventilator at the back of the spray area in the section you are working in. Slide it up until it catches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave the extraction on after you have finished work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the shipping ring before use &#8211; pull the cap off and the disc which prevents the nozzle from being pressed can now fall out. Carefully replace the nozzle once the ring has been removed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shake the can for at least two minutes <em>after <\/em>the ball bearing inside breaks free. Keep shaking it every so often when you are spraying to keep the paint mixed and free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional coats of paint can be applied after 3 to 5 minutes and before 30 minutes has passed. This will form a chemical bond with the previous layer, which will result in optimal strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more information on spray painting see the <a href=\"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/manual-tools\/691\/spray-painting\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"691\">spray painting guidance page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usage Information<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[232],"class_list":["post-638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coshh","tag-coshh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":693,"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638\/revisions\/693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makeinsalford.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
