why would you turn off the hepa when youre inoculating? the hepa streams clean air.. this is what yhou want.. otherwise, youll get your drafts from outside your flowhood
I leave mien all the time actually...

Yes! Thats the beauty of having a hepa filter. You can never take too many procautions. My parot just inoculated 6 jars over the oven today as well. Before he takes a shower (something u should do b4 inoculation) he cranked the HEPA up full bast and put it in the center of the kitchen and used a whole can of lysol in the kitchen especialy around his werk area. Then in 10 min when his shower was over he put on some fresh clothes, sprayed with lysol as well, and put his face mask on. Sounds like you did the right stuff, and no, that draft is 99.98% clean draft, so dont worry about it. That hepa's sucking in alot of shit that u dont want around as well. Oh yeah, he also dusts everything and cleans the floor as well....k, ill stop blabbing...hope this helps ya.

I have a different opinion...
I turn the hepa off after running it for some hours.
I believe in keeping the air as still as possible.
just because the air coming out is clean..doesn't mean it's not
going to blow some other crap off of something. I haven't used oven tek..sooo guess you have some insurance with that.Your attention to detail will pay off. Good luck.
Just another country heard from.

Id have to agree with patzee somewhat, i think it makes sense with the air blowin off some other crap and , I myself will take that into consideration. Depends on how much time you have ...I didnt have an hour to leave the hepa on. Thanks Patzee
