duct/duck tape the filter to the intake side of the fan.

That's the back of the fan, I get that.

DON'T spend 15 minutes doing that and then realize that you put the arrows on the filter backwards

So, the arrows on the filter will face the fan or the opposite way, to the air incoming to the filter, right?

That is, can I have the arrows point to the fan where I'm attaching it?

TIA. And Merry Xmas.
