building a clean room in basement for flowhood. slight issues with dampness. no good?
    #18393083 - 06/09/13 04:21 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

so right now my flowhood is in the garage.  so far ive had no issues.  only contams i ever have got is from bad spawn or bad syringes.  however, id like to move my work area for a few reasons.  im worried when the weather really heats up, the garage gets hot and i worry about certain spores and such maybe getting on the hepa filter.  so, plan on enclosing a small area in basement to make a clean room to move my hood to.  the basement gets damp in certain areas between some leaks, and also just humidity in the summer.  would this be concern also for the paper on the filter maybe developing mold???  i was going to build a makeshift ghetto room with some 2 x 4s and plywood.  seal it up one way or another.  just wondering, maybe if i run a dehumidifier in there might that make the possibility of mold null?  or is it just not worth the rise.  one way or another i feel like i should move my work area.  ive thought of trying to fix up garage to insulate and seal it better but that would be a big job.

ive been wondering myself whats the best place to store a flowhood. of coarse you wouldn't want it to get wet and harbor mold and contaminates. isnt the sole purpose of running it for 1 hr b4 work to blow out anything that might have got on the front of it and to filter out the area. i keep saying to my self im gonna build one of these but for my purposes i just use a glove box, and before that i just used a shmuvbox. here soon ill be attaching the shmuv to the glove and i loved my shmuv and never got a contaminate just hated working in a bag. do to recent discovery on another site i seen that someone modded there box the same way no issues yet in over some time now.

sorry for the rant, but curious to see you clean room work out for you.

Get a roll of visqueen and line the area you enclose with 2×4 with it...  I've set up grow rooms with the stuff before, and with a roll of it, some tape, and a couple zip wall zippers you should have a room pretty close to being sealed from outside influences such as spores/dampness.  (The bottom of your zipwall "doors" and when you open them would be the only main issues, but there are solutions for that too if you feel it's not doing the job)
