Possible grow box but possible problem with it.

Okay so im thinking of constructing a grow box out of my old 16 channel mixer case,lol. Its a pretty nice size, i look at it as a PC grow box on roids. The only concern i have about this is there is this green foamy crap all over the wood, it was used to protect the mixer inside from bouncing around. Ive gotten as much off as possible but i cannot get it all off. the last thing i want is my plants breathing in that crap. So i was thinking of basiaclly throwing some type of stretch wrap over all of the wood to keep that foam sealed up and away from my plants. Ontop of the wrap im going to line the inside with mylar. This thing seals pretty tight when closed, i will have a nice intake and exaust fan inside, but im still concerened that all that insulation will cause quite a bit of heat. Think i should try harder to get that green crap off the wood and give it a nice clean?

Get the green crap off and use a 4in1 reflective material, the stuff that looks like chrome bubblewrap. I hate mylar!

hey ! maybe getting as much off as possible is a good idea, but you could just get some pva glue and just go to town on the inside of the box ??? it will hold any dust or debris in place so why bother wasting valuable growing time buy making the box look pretty!!!

what is the size of that box?

it doesn't look wide enough
Its acually got about 2ft of room inside.Both half's of the case are about 1ft, If i were to grow in it id have to do some skillful LST to try and yield a decent amount( which is the point of using the height of this case). But im still not sure about doing it, i may just get a full tower PC case lol.
