I recently primed a couple hundred plugs. The spray booth did its job superbly and kept the over-spray contained and the fumes were evacuated very well. BUT..... Drying caused an issue for me. I left them to dry on a table in the shop and the smell bothers me. I could run the exhaust fan for a few hours but the cheap-skate in me hates using all that juice. Question is (for you guys that do large numbers of them) ... Would I regret putting the painting off until the weather is nice enough to leave the windows open? I was thinking I could continue turning and sealing lures for the next couple months and get back to the painting later when the weather is such that having the windows open would be an option. I fear that having so much to paint in the end will leaving me feeling overwhelmed. I'm expecting a couple thousand plugs if all goes as planned. Should I bite the bullet and run the exhaust, doing the runs in batches or leave the painting/finishing and wiring for spring time. Thanks.

| Run the fan....raise the price a $.25 ;) Once the weather turns nice, you'll not want to paint them, but fish them.

| With the exception of the front 4 or 5, the rest are black / purple Dam camera! Everything else looks like the correct color.
