Inverted/Upside down Still Air Glove Box, will it work?

So I found this tub that is all but perfect dimensions for a glove box.
The only problem is that the lid is "frosted" so I cannot see through it.
This made me wonder, could I just flip it upside down?
Place the lid upside down on a table. prep/clean all my jars/petri's/tools, etc.
Place them on the lid, then place the tub upside down on top of the lid?
I don't see why this wouldn't work, but wanted to get some feedback in case I was over looking something.

I've seen some use a clean cloth or a dish towel on the table and the box upside down over it. Just keep the cloth wet to catch falling baddies.

It works well my old SAB had a white lid and a clear bottom.

I now use a 110 quart tub placed upside down on a towel sprayed with bleach solution. Got the idea from someone not too long ago but I smoke too much to remember who...

So do you place the towel inside the box on top of the lid?
Or beneath it?

You place the towel on the table with the box on top. No lid, only the tub on the cloth.

He's asking about his large tub, where is the tub in your examples?

I cannot afford a real box, or I would just build a flow hood. In fact I already have a pimp ass HEPA for a flow hood, but I'm on such a tight budget I cannot afford the blower and wood to construct it at the moment.
The first couple pics from Pestilence look almost exactly like the dimensions of the tub I was looking at. Doesn't look like it leaves much head room though.

It'll work... Maybe its overkill, but I close the box up, wipe everything w/ some iso, oust the box, and wait a few min, and then start working... shouldn't matter that the tub is upside down or not

Yes that's you and your cultivation needs, not the needs of everyone else. A box like yours is a waste of money for 99% of people here. My box was 8$ at home depot, not hundreds.

Has there ever been a large scale discussion of "Upside down w a bleach towel vs Lid and soap or alcohol"? Is it just preference?
I'm planning on using my SAB in a bleached down room that I've made. The room itself is almost a SAB in it's own right. Can't be too careful, though.

I had the same problem except it had a black lid. Did the same thing, turned it upside down. Worked fine.

It's just a preference still air is still air as long as it's sanitary. Honestly you don't really need a bleach cleaned room specifically for your work, but I guess a little extra never hurt anyone.

waste? your surely not talking waste from contams and, a poorly built box , unless by waste , ya mean " investment in good equip"
considering i have several, with lights, hundreds is not a stretch.
i dont see your point, any effective lab costs.
my concern is capability and practicality of use. those with experience, realize elbow room, work room, and ,lighting are paramount to a good innoc / handling process.
for the casual case of pints, flip over a shoe box , add saran wrap and oust it up. fact is, ya either need a serious box or ya dont. the comprimise hacked plastic tub , has limits. i know, i made similar ones in the 1980's. now i know better. i think enough of you guys to suggest you deserve better also.
i realize its a bad economy. the answer isnt to reduce bio handling to a 10 spot.
those interested in a tangible , usable isolation area, would be best served to think it thru a level.

ya dont have to be a 1%, to have a 1% box. dont settle for the 99% box , unless ya want 99% results.

99% seems like pretty good odds to me. <$10 for 99% or $100+ for a 'good' box. Sometimes its not about what you want but what you need.
