tried a 5 gallon Genie to keep the wet/dry vac air exhaust

QUESTION:

My question -- what are you doing to keep the wet/dry vac air exhaust
(usually on top of unit) from also spewing out the fine red rough dust. I tried a 5 gallon Genie, used super duty paper filter bags and built a tubular extension on top of the air exhaust. Next I covered the extension with some cheesecloth just to see. It was dirty red almost immediately. Methinks the studio would be just as red and dirty. If you have solved this problem I would love to hear how you did it (I have three polishing stations now).Any ideas ?

ANSWER:

I use gore cleanstream vac filters, look for woodshop supply cos in fine woodworking magazine. they filter down to .3 microns (HEPA) AND flow better.
A Vacuum cleaner takes a concentrated Dust source and spreads it all over the place !!! : The only solution is a central vacuum cleaning system VENTED to the OUTSIDE, that way it becomes you neighbor's problem!
