this anti flame paint that holds up to 30 minutes seems too good to paint flowbench.(water based)
I'm waiting reply from the seller to know the value, can someone tell me QUANTITY of ink used in his FB?
Bruce further information to be added to the plans are part list! ( approximate QUANTITY INK) just an idea

If you want to make a fire Proof bench, you can...........But i thing the main problem or worry was that a flammable paint, the was not left to dry, and trapped vapor would go BOOM! when you turned on you bench.

Even if you have a non flammable paint in you bench, and flammable vapor get in there. The chance of explosion would be the same........and with same results.

I agree with you that an explosion is far more dangerous!
But this pressure will only exist if the engines are in operation, in view of the possible outbreak of fire comes from the spinning and not specifically the engines, this type of paint will give more time to save the equipment and yourself.
Since this material will take longer to expel gas, and give you time to shut down the engines and to avoid the pressures of the system.
the amount of gas is much lower and left the air inlet and the hole test, finally exploding in this case is very difficult, equipment only will burn without EXPLODE!!!

I have seen these motor throw a wild, almost flame like, sparks.

Making it fire proof, is a good idea ;) Just adds to the expense.

I agree that increases to the expenses, but like I said best to prevent.
I'm waiting for someone who can tell me how he used to paint, because I'm sloth to calculate the area :D

you know! Bruce's plans do not bring the measures of the total area :lol: :lol: :lol:

joke guys plans are very complete (the short time I'm here already realized that Bruce and a very serious man! a gentleman)

alright Jhom :D

serious! I'll wait for the price of ink, to see if it's worth

One gallon of paint should cover all interior surfaces with large portion left.

Is it possible to add fire retardant properties to latex paint? There are thermal barrier properties that can be added to latex paint.

My Flowbench is better than their's

not have this kind of information about the addition of retardants to latex.I have not received information about values but I estimate that should not be much more expensive.
was evaluating the video and realized that no smoke comes out, but just a bit of heat that quickly expands,sure that is not in a closed environment like a box but I think FB will not be gas, but the burning of oxygen and only for so much more secure than latex paint

remember that I'm just a student in paintings (DIY) 8-)

Thanks information

This image shows displacement of a painting of low quality, the displacement of ink and made by heating the air friction
The second image shows the melting of terminals (terminals misapplication and poor quality) my picture is also of low quality. :lol:
