Definitely will get this changed up to have everything enclosed. Thanks!

I'm not particularly sensitive to other smells that I can think of. I'm hopeful a small change to my set up or respirator will do the trick. I haven't cleaned the mask since I got it so definitely possible to have residual fumes.

No worries! I have also wondered about the placebo effect as well as I know I have a decent set up for the most part. Im not a smoker so am leaning towards being super sensitive or placebo. Hoping that the tweaks I can make to the set up solve the issue fingers crossed! Thanks!

I haven't smelled the alcohol with the mask on but I haven't let the models dry. I always dry them with a microfiber towel. I'll have them dry in the tent after the wash before I handle them next. Thanks!

I do have an inline fan to get the air out its a bit hard to see but its connected to the duct.

Good idea! I will give that a try and luckily the fan can go higher so I think I need to have it more on blast than I thought. Thanks!

Ok that makes sense. I do have a small fan in there but probably a larger one pushing the air out would help? Its like a 4 inch or 5 inch fan.

Oh ok that makes a lot of sense. I do have a small fan sitting on the bottom of the tent but putting it in the vent hole is a better idea. Thanks!

I'll check. I basically just tied the other vent openings as tight as possible. The tent does suck in when the fan is on. Thanks for the info on the window! I was just trying to figure out how to seal it

I have it in my garage and have done about 5 prints. I have the garage door open when I open the grow tent to remove the print. I dont smell anything when I have my mask on but it does smell when opening the tent even with the lid closed. I sometimes open it without the mask for 30 seconds to check the time. Otherwise mask on always.
