I personally would not wet the floor down, I say this B/C when you wet the floor down especially in a hotter climate you create more humidity in the air. In the newer urethane paints which i assume you are using, they have isocynates in them which actavate faster with a more humid climate. Pretty much what i am trying to say is that you could be spraying and the clear could start to cure prematurely and cause blushing or a cloudy finish. It's just something that could happen. I agree with using box fans or use a squirel cage.

Here you go Didn't seal the top areas,left open for more venting. Used Scotch red type duct tape,holds better!Used a E-Z up,& bungee cords to hold 10' x1" PVC to the upper area to tape the plastic too!
