In Response To: Re: another question might be... (Dale Frolander)

A prop fan will work, if you are not trying to generate more than about 1/8" of pressure. Try to get one with a good oriface opening instead of a "box fan". A centrifugal would work better... Opening the window is not likely to help. If anything it will help pressurise the room, depending on wind exposure.

: While the problem has clearly been solved, I have since had that same idea to
: put a fan in the window to ensure there are no small leaks into the rest
: of the house by having negative pressure to the room. If opening the
: window alone doesn't create a slight negative pressure I'm going to attach
: a fan to a board and put it in the window. I might have to make some sort
: of restricter plate to control the amount of flow so I'm not putting too
: much pressure on the other side of the plastic. I'll have to get this
: built before I do my next glassing.
