Covering Your SAB When Not Working
    #27313864 - 05/18/21 02:19 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey there shroomites,

I was going to put this in my newb question thread but I figured maybe this could be a somewhat engaging conversation? Maybe im wrong and its just another boring newb question and if so I apologize but I was wondering,

Do YOU cover your SABs arm holes when not in use?
I personally havent been. I did when I started but then I thought that having to remove the paper was likely causing more turbulent air than just not having it there in the first place. Whats your thoughts?

hmmmm i donโ€™t really use petris so i canโ€™t help there. if youโ€™re using pasty plates they should be fine, idk about unwrapped petris though. i would assume that as long as you arenโ€™t opening the door to the room or turning on fans you should be fine?

I don't cover the holes but I have my SAB up against a wall so I turn the holes towards the wall when I'm not using it. Like most people I started off in overkill mode cleaning the SAB, misting it, cleaning anything in the area, showering, etc. I even had it in a trash bag when I wasn't using it for a little bit. But, I'm pretty lazy so now I just roll up to my dry SAB with gloves on and I haven't had an increase in contamination.

Buy a pack of thin sheets of magnets large enough to cover the holes. Cut, stick, cover.

I just put up plastic wrap on the holes.
Mine never moves. Once a week I pick it up to spray lysol and wipe it down but other than that ive stopped spraying cuz so many TCs dont seem to think its needed.

I don't cover my armholes based on the following, but I could easily be convinced otherwise because my understanding of thermodynamics sucks.  Doesn't still air in a box open on one side resist moving currents (like a car on the highway with the passenger side window down)?  Doesn't covering/uncovering those holes just create turbulence in an otherwise relatively stable environment?

after each session in the SAB I put it away, so I don't really leave anything in there over long periods of time -
the only exemption being when I pour plates I'll cover the holes while they set with some paper + scotch tape but those magnets seem like a way better option lol

The only time I covered the arm holes on my SAB is to let freshly poured plates to cool overnight. I just covered them with a t-shirt that was not worn out of the washer/dryer. I did the same thing without the shirt overnight and did not notice any difference.

TLDR: I did not notice any tangible benefits from covering the arm holes after I poured plates in my SAB. I have been using a hood for the past like 8 months or so though.

I never do, I just wipe it thoroughly with 70% ISO before and after use and store it in a clean closet.  Been using the same SAB for quite a while now but it always works just fine despite being kinda worn out and a little dirty from years of use.

Alright. Are we talking about storing SABs that have sensitive material in them or just storing them between use?

Ah I see, yeah I'd cover somehow if you have sensitive stuff in there I guess.

Ok Stubb how 'bout this...I have a piece of cardboard that blocks both holes.
When I remove it, I slide the cardboard up or sideways parallel to my SAB.
I can't see how there's any disturbance in the force that way.  :rofl:
