I'm in the process of bilduing a casting hood, similar to the The front will be a salvaged double pane window, with sides and top made of painted plywood. A small exhaust fan with a HEPA filter and vent to the outside will be installed at the top. The casting operation will occur entirely inside the hood, which will be closed when not in use. I've casted inside an even simpler, disposable version made from a large cardboard box with a sheet of discarded plexiglas duct taped to the front. It may seem like overkill, but I nearly had my day ruined once by a steam explosion (long story) and I decided not to let that happen again. Gloves, apron and face shield are also mandatory for me. I've had "brass founder's ague" twice, both times from trying to get away with torching galvanized steel in what I considered well- ventilated areas. I don't recommend it. I'm fond of N100 masks when I'm around anything that's particulate that I don't care to inhale. They're cheap and they beat the hell out of spending two days in bed with nausea and rigor or getting dosed with DMSA.
