I agree that an exhaust fan is an excellent idea for a layout room if you’re going to use smoke. Minimizes exposure and clears out the room fast when you’re done.
One advantage of having a garage layout: There’s no exhaust fan to purchase!
What next?!?!?! Don’t solder because it uses lead? It amazes me that people are so paranoid about everything these days. Those labels are for the lawyers because some moron out there will drink it or ingest it somehow and then try to sue the manufacturer when they get sick. Most of us grew up doing all kinds of things that people now are “AMAZED” that we didn’t kill ourselves or wind up a bunch of drooling idiots. Lighten up, it’s a hobby, don’t be stupid but enjoy yourselves!
Lead only gets released in the air if it’s heated above 800 degrees… I use JT MegaSmoke. With all my steamers with fan driven smoke units, I can get the basement full of smog.

Baltimoretrainworks,
Believe it or not, but the EU(European Union) is already demanding that all electronics products shipped to them are completely lead free by the middle of next year. This means that it’s probably only a matter of time before lead free solder is not available here.
As for me, I’ve used lead-free solder before, and I hate it. I do, though, regularly use a silver bearing solder which cuts the lead down to 36%, and has a 2% silver content. It’s a pleasure to work with. If solder ever becomes totally lead free, most likely I’ll buy a couple of cases to last me the rest of my life[:)]
I don’t think that anyone can deny that lead is a hazard, especially when used in applications such as a gasoline additive, but that doesn’t mean that we should get rid of it everywhere.

Too much sex and you die of AIDS,
Too much play and you’ll get poor grades.
Too much water and you’ll surely drown,
Too many smiles and you’ll be a clown.
Too much money will cause some greed,
Too sharp a knife will make you bleed.
Too much of anything is bad for you -
Moderation my friends, might be the clue.
You can do everything right and live a boring life and live to 80, an be put in and old folks home and waist away or you can have some fun and live to 75. We all die just how will you use the time between birth and death. And by the way we could all die in a car crash or something else tomorrow. ENJOY YOURSELF!!!

I leave town and my “friends” [???] go wild. I guess I will have to take them down a notch or two. [;)]
