Easier is to add inductance in series with the blower. On mine I've recycled a big inductor from a dead PSU.
The diode in the diagram is absolutely necessary if you add inductance (and a good idea even if you don't). Use a diode that can handle 100 Amp surges, preferably a Schottky diode.
The cap in the picture is to cut down on the electrically noise produced by the brushes. Use mylar or polyester or film or ceramic caps and have a close to the blower as possible. Different values handle different frequency noise, so use a combination of a couple. I used 10 pF, 1 nF, 100 nF, 10 uF.

easy - leave PSU on, insert switch into circuit and turn it on with that.
no need for complicated timer/relay.....
