This shoulds keep me out of trouble for a while. While I was making these linings my shop-vac demonstrated why you want to have a sealed electric motor for a spray booth - it shorted out spectacularly with sparks 4 to 5 inches high, loud pops and a large smoke plume.

Looks great! You'll have to bring one of those by sometime!

That is exactly what it looked like if you add a lot more smoke. The on/off switch is right next to the motor so I had to wait until the breaqker popped to get it turned off. Mika I'll be sure and bring one by when I get them finished.

The problem sounds like you need to replace the smoke lost from the motor,

here is a link that may help although it is specificaly for automotive smoke!
