HEPA flow hood assembly, sealant required?
    #1384676 -

Here is a hepa machine. Air flows into the grill, and out the exit.

At first I was very puzzled how I could make a glove box out of this... but I decided the best way would be to mount it in the lid of a sterilite container.
Having no precision tools, I used a simple steak knife and a blow torche to cut the plastic. The HEPA fitted nicely into the hole I had made, but it's not completly perfect. There are gaps, no more than 5 mm riddling the fit.

My question, can I let these gaps be... becuase of the positive blow on the inside of box? Or is it more sinister than I had imagined, that from some obscure liquid dynamics rule would actually suck air in through the path of greater resisance, to the path of least resistance?

help me, PLEASE!

is that a 99.97% hepa or the more expensive 99.9997%?

99.97%, do you think that isn't enough?
If I got all contams in an experiment, but they were all the same kind, would that mean something is wrong with the filter, or that something else (substrate, innoculus) was imperfect?
