I confess when I first saw the post I thought ok this will be bad ass and no one had thought of it before .. I thought he took a dresser and took the drawers out .. cut 2 arm holes into the back cut the top off .. then sealed with bisqueen however it's spelled that heavy duty plastic .. if you made some shelves that's how you could make a sab for bags and whatever else .. you could make shelves at different levels make doors for multiple levels of arm holes for different work that day .. you would be standing and hunched over though..


But that is what went through my head when I saw the I made a sab out of a dresser haha.. anyway I hope someone makes a box as I've described


That's what I thought too! Not so in-depth tho :laugh2:

So I confess... after a lot of hard work and refinement... I'm feeling a lot better about my mycology work! My last bit of work of pouring 20 plates and inoculating them was a huge success! 0% contam rate! Every plate is great (well, I'm cleaning up a wild clone with some issues, but it came from the mushroom itself, so I put that there intentionally).

So, 3 weeks ago 40%~ contam rate. This week less than 5%~ contam! Stupid fucking happy with this progress.

Here's what I improved:
  • More than doubled my cleaning schedule at home.
  • Ran an air purifier in my rooms for a few days in each room (not while doing work though).
  • Upgraded from alcohol burner to propane torch.
  • Added a wire rack for my SAB so my work stays off the "ground".
  • Watched a TON of SAB work videos and worked on improving my technique for movements and holding my utencils.
  • Started running my SAB dry (no misting).
  • I started flipping my lids so that they are gasket side up (aka upside down).


So, if you're looking for ways to improve your sterile technique there's so many little things you can do. I'm sure there's tons more I can do too, if you're having contam issues don't give up! You can do it :heart:

You better be more than good to her, I hope you recognize her rarity. Sounds like you have a good woman,  I hope you are reciprocal.

Bod/Mushboy turned me onto it recently while I was trying to refine my technique. Here's a good thread on it: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24932780

A few TC's and a lot of long term members stated that's how they roll.

EDIT: You can follow my journey of finding this out starting here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25951103#25951103

Also, a thing I forgot to add to "improving my sterile technique",
  • I started flipping my lids so that they are gasket side up (aka upside down).

I realized that my lids were pretty "stuck" on there after going through a PC, and this was also likely creating air flow in my SAB.

Thanks, I have read that thread before. It's just that I understand WHY a lot of people spray. To bring down contams and to trap contams on the walls and roof of the SAB, but why would it be better not to spray, thats what I have a hard to understanding. I trust you that it works well. Its not that

Using a dry box is cutting corners and has nothing to do with improvement
