The inside edges of the flow hood need to be sealed and air tight. As with the side panels, the sealant must be resistant to 70% ethanol, so ordinary bathroom sealant is out. So far the only ethanol resistant sealant I have found is [http://www.ppg.com/coatings/aerospace/sealants/indsealadh/Pages/default.aspx PRC Rapid Seal] which is rather expensive. A cheaper alternative that may work is simply sticking plumbers teflon tape along the edges. However the ethanol may work its way under the tape and cause the adhesive to loosen. | The inside edges of the flow hood need to be sealed and air tight.

We need to find a blower that will blow the right amount of air through the filters to create laminar flow. Instructions on how to figure out the maths of achieving laminar flow through a HEPA filter can be found in [http://fradnai.free.fr/docs/doc23.pdf this helpful PDF]. | We need to find a blower that will blow the right amount of air through the filters to create laminar flow.
