SAB / Flame Torch Tec question

Hey all!
I have lots of problems with contam and am trying to eliminate any weak spots. One that I see that is obvious that I haven't found a solution for: When I am working in my SAB, I keep having to take my hands and the xacto knife/scalpel out of the SAB to use the culinary flame torch outside of the box. As well as having to go in and out of the box each time I need to sterilise the blade, of course I am having to touch the flame torch each time.
I have tried working with the torch inside the box, but there are two problems: 1) the box runs out of oxygen, so the torch stops working. and 2) condensation builds up inside the box, making it hard to see.
Any tips?

Using the torch inside the box creates heat currents and makes it so the air inside the box is no longer still.
Just move your hands slowly when moving in and out the box.
Make sure the holes are large enough so you don't piston air in and out when you take your hands out.

 There's no problem going in and out of the box to flame as long as you go with smooth steady movement like everything else sab related. But a couple people have put a small hole in the side of the sab to flame without hands leaving the box. Unnecessary tho.
A step-ups for you would to get a torch that can stay on so you only need one hand and it's only touching the scalpel.
Never flame inside the box. Not only is it dangerous if you use alcohol, it defeats the still air, causes air currents in the box.

Thanks for the tips guys! Sterilisation of the scalpel was as far as I could see the only potential weak point in my set up - apart from using a SAB in stead of a LFH - so I wanted to tidy it up as bes as I could.

Yes, you should have your flame outside of your SAB. That is the proper way to do things. You just need to be careful when moving your hand in and out of the SAB. Gentle, deliberate movements. Your knife will still be red-hot when you are moving it back into the SAB, so any "dirty air" it touches will get sterilized by the heat.
I wrote up a pretty detailed procedure for how I do things. Here is a link.

What about using a microtorch inside the SAB instead?
