I'm going to wipe down with iso, but then mist with water. I feel like misting inside with everything already inside could be a problem because there is a higher risk of something getting on my items correct? With it being my first time doing bulk and a SAB I don't want to make the mistake of something misting or dropping on my stuff.
So opening the SAB back up after misting is okay then?
Why would you open it up? I put everything through the arm holes. They have to be quite big anyway so you don't have air currents around your arms when you put them in or pull them out. If the holes are big enough you'll have no air suction.

To mist or not to mist, that is the question.

So you think it is sufficient enough to just wipe everything down with iso and that should be good?
I definitely don't want to spray any iso because I will need to light a flame to sterilize my needle in between.
I'm still weary about even misting with water. I feel like something is going to get on my stuff and screw it up with it being my first.

It’s as easy as wiping down whatever you load into your dry-ass SAB and wiping your gloves down here and there as you work. Focus on refining your technique, hand efficiency and finesse.
I think we mostly mist, because the TEKs say so and we think the Kung Fu of our masters is better than ours

I didn't know you meant put it through the holes. This is my first time with a SAB.

I personally spray the work surface with 70% iso and wipe with a paper towel then do the exact same thing to all interior sides of the SAB, and the front where the arm holes are located. So basically everything is slightly damp but not dripping wet. Seems to work for me.

Put your stuff through the same holes you put your arms in. Don't open the SAB.

Idk but to me this sounds like waiting for trouble. You will have fine alcohol mist floating around. Now turn on your burner and with a bit of bad luck you'll get an explosion. Even if you can handle the risk, I think we shouldn't tell newbies to do it like that.

So lets say you live in a room that isn't exactly clean. Would you recommend spraying the SAB or would you still go dry?

nobodys room is clean, clean. if you got moldy cups of juice or crusty jizz socks laying around then clean the room first.
then try a dry sab run and see what happens. my room has a cat box used by 4 cats. carpet, moldy window sills.. 100yr old row house.
plus my pot smoking self and all my filth

You shouldn’t have a flame inside the box.
Apparently people will use sabs outside with no problems according to one of the last discussions on this.
As long as you give the air time to settle and don’t have currents in the room it shouldn’t matter how dirty it is.

Even if your flame is outside the box it is IMO too dangerous to spray alcohol. I guess that's why all TEKs suggest soapy water or nothing at all like mushboy's DSAB.

Should I take off all the foil on my jars before going in the SAB? Or I need to take them off and put them back on all inside the SAB?

Oh I know
We’re talking about gravity and air-currents here. Misting your SAB with anything is simply an unnecessary step. It does more harm than good. If it makes you feel better wipe down the insides with ISO and let it dry completely before you begin your work. Or don’t. It won’t be the reason you succeed or fail. I stand by my initial advice: Technique and finesse. That’s what translates into success. Fucking up your visibility and getting everything wet with a mist bomb is straight up blooper-town IMO

Yeah, I know that an experienced fighter pilot can do funny tricks and stuff, but you wouldn't teach that to someone who does his first flight (as OP is).
