Not sure what you're asking, but in a similar thread I saw a guy recommend putting a container around the base of the plant buried a couple inches down so the sliugs cant get through it. Like a plasitc coffee can or something, anything. This may be misinformation though, so keep searching and good luck.

You should put a dome on top of your clone, it has no roots and feeds through it's leaves, it needs high humidity to survive. Within 2 to 3 weeks you can gradualy romve the hood and see how it handles being in open air, if it droops or doesn't look good put the dome back on for an other week or two.

A plastic bag will do fine in a pinch. just spray you plant with a fine myst every now and then, not too much, just enough to keep humidity in there.
