    I don’t use alcohol inside the SAB anymore, because I have a strong UV-C light inside. I turn it on for 15 minutes to sterilize the inside of the SAB before I start working, and turn it off when I have to sit next to it, or else I would go blind, lol. Then I use alcohol on everything that enters the SAB before I put it through the arm holes. Never had anything contaminated since I started doing it this way. I even let Petri dishes harden/cool without the lids on inside the box, so I avoid condensation, and just have the UV-C light turned on the entire time the lids are off. 😊

My SAB has been old faithful. Heck I have the FH, and my FFU. And still this I use my SAB for certain things, small jobs. Lol PLUS I HAVE HER ROCK SLAPS EVERYWHERE. I GOT MY FH COVERED IN THEM TO!!!! Man they look great. But my FFU is clean no slaps on her. But I agree 100% with everything you covered. I do certain things like you, but some other I do different. Plus you showed me some things to try out myself. Keep up the great work.

    Quite a few explosions have occurred when flame sterilising needles inside still air boxes. If the alcohol vapour is in the right proportions with the air (upper/lower explosion limit), then it will ignite/explode. So, be careful and only use the minimum amount of alcohol when wiping down surfaces, and no open flames.

    Ive been having very good results working in open air. Just shutting the bathroom door with a towel at bottom and turning on a hot shower till steam covers everything and spraying the air around and over me with alcohol and quickly bang it out. Im bout to make a diy flowhood i think just to reduce the occasional failure. The most important parts imo is making sure your grains are fully sterelized, fully colonized, and your substrate isnt to wet.👍
