Solutions for acrylic smell?

[Math2010]

Hello,

My shop is in my basement without any windows and it's very very small. When I turn acrylic, I have a filter mask to protect my lungs... The problem is that the smell goes everywhere in the house and the wife's not very happy :wink:

Does anybody have an idea to prevent the smell to go everywhere? Is there a kind of fan or something like that that can push the air (and the smell) outside?

I set up my Shop Vac to pull any fumes from CA glue or turning acrylic or anything that might give off an odor while turning. Discovered this when turning wood and then acrylic.

Buy a HEPA room air cleaner with an activated charcoal filter in it.
They ain't cheap, but they work well.
I use 2 Honeywell units in my dungeon of a shop.

Do you have a picture of your Honeywell?
They are supporting the dust that a shop can generate?

Maybe one of these duct fans in a dryer vent might help.
