"Hi, today as we're talking about our Copper Foiling project, we're running through the basics of your safety in your shop or whatever work area that you're using. Right now, I'd like to talk to you about fume traps and smoke traps because you will have fumes that come off of your saltering as well as your different chemicals you're using such as your Patina and the flux as you're saltering your salter to your copper foil. The fume trap actually brings in the air from this side, right here. Let me turn it on. And it sucks in the air on this side, the fumes and then sends them out this way, clean. And the way that it's able to do that is because it has a charcoal portion that absorbs the gases such as a hydrogen chloride and the carbon dioxide. Then there's a small micro section that accumulates the evacuated lead vapors, thereby keeping them away from you as you are saltering. It's also a very good idea to have a well ventilated area that you're working in."
