Protects walls covered with plastic.
Put a fan in the window. The fan should be located out in order to expel the gases in the room.
Light up the room so you can see it when I paint. You can use floor lamps or add reflective material such as mirrors or foil.
2. Note all safety precautions.
The paint fumes are toxic. Use a mask and vent the gases to an open area.
The paint is highly flammable. Do not use paint near a stove or fire places. Avoid smoking while painting.
The room where paint should not be close to your residence area for long-term inhaled gases is dangerous to health.
