	Currently this page is a list of guidelines for casting in the space.

Currently this page is a list of guidelines for casting in the space.

	Currently, the only ventilation hood is located in [[SparkleForge]], but as casting is typically a messy process, it should be carried out in the [[Resources/Shop]]. This means there will not be adaquate ventilation for all by benign materials.

			# Clean up after you project

==Casting at Noisebridge==

Currently this page is a list of guidelines for casting in the space. There have been issues in the past with messes that were not cleaned properly which ruined equipment, and the realities of ventilation in the space need to be taken into account as well.

Currently, the only ventilation hood is located in [[SparkleForge]], but as casting is typically a messy process, it should be carried out in the [[Resources/Shop]]. This means there will not be adaquate ventilation for all by benign materials.

The best approach for everyone would be to ask in person at a Tuesday meeting, email Noisebridge-discuss, or check on Slack for the appropriateness of the casting activity.
