Almost done with my flow hood. Got 1 simple question
    #15938391 - 03/12/12 04:04 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hello shroomery. Im a longtime lurker who has become an absolute addict to mycology and there is one step for construction of my flow hood I have not been able to get a clear answer for using the search engine.

My question is how to properly install the filter(24x12 from fungi perfecti). Right now my plan is to just use gorilla epoxy to stick it in then seal all the seams with silicone.

However, this is the only step I have not been able to get a clear answer to using the search engine and thought I'd make sure I my plan wasn't horrible (the thing was expensive after all)

Any help or tips are appreciated

put some 1" or so trim at the depth of the back of your filter in the plenum all the way around so you can push the filter up against it.. I siliconed around the trim and on the edge of the filter as well... then on the face of your filter youll also want some trim to keep your filter pressed tightly in there    you just need a air tight seal is the main thing, performance over appearance.... hope this helps
