Flowhood questions

So, Ive had a trich issue yesterday. RR told me to invest in a flowhood. So I will.
Question: I've seen many great tek... I understand the principle of what it does BUT in the workplace area of the flowhood, How do I prevent bacteria from getting in there? All the pics ive seen have the perfect filtration system, but the work area is wide open...
Personnaly I would have put a plexi glass with hinges, 2 holes in it and sealed in gloves...
Do you guys have extra pictures of a flowhood (a plan). Thanks!

A flowhood won't fix trich. You need better technique. Flowhood makes that easier, but it's possible without.

Yeah, agreed. But it's a tool that needs to be used correctly. That's all I'm saying.

You work in front of a Laminar Flow. The only air touching your work air is air purified down to .22um...
Sealed in gloves? I think you're thinking of an Exhaust Flowhood. Exhausts pull air up away from us, ours (Laminar) Push air out towards us.
As for pics, USTF...Boris & EvilMushrooms666 have a flowhood build in their picture galleries

This answers my question. The air that shoots towards us is clean.
Thats the area I wasnt too sure about. I didnt think that the air current would be pushing away the contams
