How the fuck do you guys see through your SAB

Mines a bigass sterilite pp5 container but the slight opacity makes transfers a bitch. I gotta hold the petri I’m transferring from up near the top of the box when I look for any myc and even then it’s near impossible to see. Is it just cause I got the wrong type of tub? I don’t think I’ve seen any straight translucent tubs but maybe I haven’t been looking hard enough.

Bright light. Some tubs are clearer than others, but a good light source (direct) helps immensely. Not ideal, but you an see plenty to make transfers and such.

O use a cheap desk lamp on top of my SAB that helps alot. You can also put a small plexiglass window on the SAB. I have a nice piece of acrylic I found in the attic I cut it and shaped it for a nice SAB bit just never finished I couldn't find a good glue to bond it to the plastic tote so decided it was better to go with a gasket and bolt it in place. Just never got around to it. Hopefully soon.

You can cut out a window and mastic a piece of perspex or acrylic in place. Or even cut out the bottom of a box and use gladwrap.
I use an led headtorch which helps. Also a single 6500k little lamp that i use to fruit. Point it straight into the sab.

I had the same issue then I bought one of these sandblasting cabinets from harbor freight. If you have a 20-30% off coupon from them you can get it for under 100 bucks. Obviously not for everyone but I didn’t want to mess around with a shitty plastic tub any more and a flow hood seemed excessive and far more expensive.
