Case of swamp butt complete with squishy n wet sounds when you move your naked ass against the leather-like chair? That bad? Or it's just me?

Get a router speed control switch. They are cheap as hell and work great for slowing it down a bit. I have to use one for my big ass fan.

when I am not using the hood, but it is on to help clean work area, I hang my speed control switch in front of the hood face. It keeps it cool enough to touch, as it does get rather warm. They only cost like $11-15 shipped to you, depending on which model you choose.

I use a speed controller and I can leave my hood on for hours without it even getting warm. Got mine from harbor freight for 18 bucks. Love the thing!
My fan is a big ass fan too. 3/4 hp and has 4 wired in speeds. I run it on the lowest speed with the speed controller turned down halfway. I said it was a big ass fan right? I like it because I can use it again if I decide to make a bigger hood in the future

DAMN bro, that's same as mine. 3/4 hp and 4 speed, used on lowest setting. Got a control, think same one, and turn it down half way, got 4 cheap ass prefilters to bog it down some. I want to get a good HEPA furnace filter to put in the stack as well, lol.

Get an ultra fine particulate furnace filter. They are a little more pricey than your standard furnace filter but they do the best prefilter job out there apart from another hepa. HD and lowes will have them right next to the normal furnace filters

Just be patient and give them time to dry. When i did bods tek i dried them for hours.
Go buy a cheap salad spinner. It will take time but at least the grains will be 100% dry.

I think this may have been some of my issues. Mine would still be moist when I PC'd them

Thought about doing that. I think I also over cook them, so I get slightly burst grains, and then more burst in the PC so those spread moisture and bacteria
