Here's what I used to make my fume hood:
Blower fan ($21): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C82SZRM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Air Duct ($15): VIVOSUN 6 Inch 25 Feet Non-Insulated Flex Air Aluminum Ducting for HVAC Ventilation w/Two 6 Inch Stainless Steel Clamps - - Amazon.com
Cardboard: find it
Led's: (optional) I had them
The fan I used is able to cycle through all the air of the fume hood every 15 seconds, which is much faster than you need, but for the price I like the extra safety. With this thing, I can comfortably use contact cement and shoe goo in my bedroom/apartment, and even dry parts indoors overnight. I also use it for painting, but if you want to spraypaint with it you'll want to put some corrugated cardboard behind it (the thick boards with a bunch of holes, often used as cat scratchers) so that the extra high-velocity paint gets trapped in the cardboard holes rather than bouncing and leaving the hood.
I know it works because the one or two times I forgot to turn it on before using contact cement, the difference was night and day. When I'm shoe gooing though, I also use a respirator for safe measure.
