==Cleanliness== *Use only lint-free towels for cleanup. *Use clean cotton gloves for handling clean panels. Keep them stored clean, and wash when necessary. *Don't leave a roll of tape on its side on any surface that's about to be painted. The adhesive on the tape will leave a residue. *To keep your paint booth dust-free: **Seal concrete floors with white epoxy. Concrete can break down and turn to dust. **Put some linseed oil in a spray bottle, and mist any intake filters to catch dust. **Clean any overhead sprinklers before and after each paint job. Or place sandwich bags over them. **Try to eliminate vibrations from fans. *To clean panels between compound, polish, glaze, etc., use a 50/50 mixture of water and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Panels can also be cleaned with wax and grease remover. *Don't use sprayable products in the immediate area prior to or following a paint job, for at least 24 hours. Products in the air could contaminate your paint job.
