Thanks for the tip. Soaking in bleach sounds intense that must take a large vat. Or do you mean that you just wipe it down with a bleach solution?

Search up bleach/vinegar/water mixture put it in a spray bottle that can handle chemicals them spray it and let it sit 20-30 mins If I remember correct its 1 part bleach 10 parts water 1 part vinegar wear a respirator when u spray it that gas it creates can be pretty hazardous

Gan said: I'm about to start cutting, staining, and finishing my wood for my flow hood. Normally for something like this I'd just stain and finish then cut cause I'm mostly finishing the wood to stop contaminants/mold growing on my hood and finishing one large sheet is a lot easier than 15 smaller pieces. If I stain first, it means the cut edges wont be finished and thus open to mold growth. Does anyone think this would be an issue?
Would it be better to cut or stain first?
How are you assembling? If using wood glue, cut & assemble before finishing. Wood finish will stop the glue from penetrating the wood. That’s assuming you’re using PVA glue. Doesn’t matter so much if using construction adhesive or epoxy.

My dude, mixing bleach and vinegar releases chlorine gas. you gonna gas people like its world war one with shitbrained advice like that.
Y'all lazy. Dishwashing liquid, water and elbow grease. If it was nasty, JUST BLEACH, dilute, and just a wipe down will do.

Damn that's serious business. Well I wonder how much my hosing down then wiping with iso has been creating problems. I'm going to up my tub cleaning game and scrub them with soap and water then use the iso just before loading. I won't hit them with that degree of chemical warfare though lol.

Make sure u dry them before using iso otherwise the iso will get watered down and not clean as well and iso needs to be rubbed in order to kill shit it wont do much just sitting there that's y I like to use the bleach vinegar mix so if u use the iso make sure u scrub every part vigorously

Yea I do let them dry completely before using iso. And I rub it pretty intensely with paper towels when I do the iso. Thanks for the tips tho

Anybody know how electrolytes affect the effectiveness of iso? I’ve got well water and it’s loaded with minerals. Fun fact, I heard where I live is referred to as the (kidney) stone belt, due to all the oxalate In the water.
At least when diluting with distilled it’s sterile until opened, but also know that in animal cells water is taken on much easier with a proper electrolyte ratio.

Dang I didn't even think about that. I was planning on using some wood glue and finishing with wood screws. But now that you bring that to my attention, I'm not so sure. If I waited to stain and finish after assembly, you think I'd have any problems with mold growing in the joints since the cut edges wouldn't be finished? I've never had that issue before when I've stained and finished after assembly, but a little bit of mold has never been a big deal like I think it would be if it got inside the plenum of the hood or something. I'll have to think about it. Thanks for the heads up though!
Also, you think it's even necessary to stain the wood (idc how it looks)? I feel like I could just get away with a varnish/lacquer coating if all I'm worried about is preventing mold.

Yea personally I would go with some sort of clear coat it would be smoother and smoother means less cracks for bacteria and spores to hide For glue u could use a shit ton of guerilla glue it expands as it dries and fills all the cracks than sand it smooth after And if your feeling really fancy you could put a coating of epoxy on it I can't remember the technical name but it's like liquid rubber basically my buddy just used it than it would be like a completely sealed box almost like a bathtub or something Lol or u could use fiberglass resin shits pretty nasty to work with but it's easy and would be nice and smooth after it's also pretty cheap the epoxy isnt

I'm not getting very many answers on this, has anyone seen this before? I've taken a picture of two types of mycelium growth, one of which I'm familiar with - the fuzzy type that grows on the outside of your cakes when birthing or re-emerging from dunks but recently with this leucistic strain I have been finding abnormal thick growth of this yellow tanish fungus I can only guess is some type of sclerotia. Now I did let these cakes colonize in their jars for about two months or more because there were certain spots in the jar that we're not yet colonized. Around the second month I was noticing no change in the uncolonized spot but a new growth formation was taking over the jar which was yellow tanish and was secreting lots of piss.
