Folks,
I am trying to get a handle on dust collection in the train room. It is in a 20x20 seperate building from the house.
I have tried 2 methods so far with moderate success. I tried using a very small vacuum with a hose and brush attached. It works but is extremely time consuming. I also tried using a small shop vac and although it took in a lot of dust it also put out a fair amount going out the other end.
The one thing that seems to work the best is using compressed air. I open the double entrance doors and put a fan blowing out. I then use an air gun on very low PSI (low enough to not dislodge anything) to blow the dust towards the doors which end up getting blown out the doors by the fan. Sounds dumb but it does work better than anything else I've tried.
Surely there must be a better way barring the purchase of any of the expensive dust collection products. I am hoping someone can put me onto a decent sized vacuum that is really good at not letting dust escape from the vacuum.
Thanks,
Ed
PS - Sorry if this is not the right forum. I wasn't sure where it should be?
