Hello, is that a table vacuum cleaner you're using? Is it enough to avoid resin dust fyling all over as I've seen other artists using plexiglass cages to protect themselves? Good luck with your dollmaking work 🙂

Hi! As for me, the small vacuum is enough if you work very closely to the fan (but still I want to buy more professional one). It is crucial to check and change filters.
I have plexiglass dome, but I decided to use good head mask instead, because this way I see better what I do:)
