Speaking of sterile TEK..is the wet towel under a grate old tek? I may have picked this up from an older post. I have a 90 Qrt SAB and I shower the towel, ring it out. I wipe the table with a Lysol wipe and layout the towel. It's a glass top table, so mebbe just lysol the table and done? I'm using Lysol wipes because the surfaces stay damp and I save alcohol.

it's somewhat outdated. People are moving away from using a damp towel and just going with a dry SAB on a table. Even with it being outdated I still like to use a damp towel and spray the walls in my SAB. It gives me peace of mind. I don't wet the towel but most it with a very weak bleach water solution with 2 drops of dishsoap in it. As far as the rack it's up to you. I like to use one when working with petris but when using 60mm it makes my stacks alot more prone to tipping over. Not really problem with bigger petris. Just the 60mm ones.

Thanks Gizmo, are you still angry?
I like the idea of dampness catching floating contam. Somehow it just makes sense. I wonder if Mushboy is sticking with a dry SAB?
Edit: Oh, and are you using the same towel over and over. I've been surfing over 60 years and I love the smell of an old towel! LOL

I just melted some sterilized MEA in the microwave but I looked away for a second and it boiled over a little and ran down the side of my media bottle. Do anyone know itβs alright to pour or do you think it wicked contamination all the way up to the no drip ring?

Probably not all of them. Try putting some extra lid rings or some spent petri plates in there to lift it up just a little.

I'm more concerned with the wall color. But probably not as well as on a shelf.
Edit: I was joking about the wall color.

Lmao. I'm always angry. I wash the towel maybe every other week. I sometimes flip it to a clean side. One towel will give 4 clean sides. I have two towels I use. Idk if it's related or not but once I started having contam problems after not changing out the towel for like a month or something. I changed out the towel and my contam problem stopped. probably just coincidence though.

I think you might be on to something with old towel and contams.
Iβve been using the same one for three months at least, just been sitting there havenβt moved the SAB at all.
Anyway over that time Iβve spilled seeds, manure, agar/wedges below the grate onto the towel.
The last few weeks Iβve had way more contam than normal. Iβm sure itβs also linked to the warm weather but that towels probly a disgusting collection of various molds and bacteria.
My mold contam has been way more varied lately now that I think about it.

Yea it could be a thing lol. You gotta remember a towel will harbor alot of dirt spores and bacteria especially if it's always damp.

Why are we using towels? I'm a huge opponent to towels. Put down some cling wrap on the table, soap everything up and put your baking racks above it.
Can someone tell me what Tek calls for towels in a SAB?

Why not
Warm moist towel with cookie rack on top. (Towel creates steam/ condensation inside the sab)
Mist walls ever so gently with isso.
Get to work.

I like the counter . I spray with bleach/iso/lysol whatever and use a cake rack. Put my Sab on that and go. Lately I've been trying this because it is larger than my sab with holes.

Why put down clingwrap? When I don't use a towel The SAB just goes down on a flat surface that has been wiped. I'm not sure about a Tek it just used to be what people did alot of times. It was pretty damn common. I'm not sure if there were any SAB teks that recommend it and won't be going back to check through them because it's not really something I care much about one way or the other. It works both ways so I can't say you need or even don't need a towel I think that detail is irrelevant. Sterile tek is what counts in a SAB. At the same time though the idea didn't come out of thin air lmao.

I'm always a little jealous of those of you with big SABs, I have a small apartment so I use a tiny clear tote bag as my SAB 

Works for my small personal grows but a little bit more depth wouldn't hurt! I like the idea of something I can fold away though. Version 2 would probably be in a bigger bag with some metal wiring in the frame so it can support its shape better
