D is right though. Tape isn't needed on pf jars. Myself I do like it during pcing cause I don't use foil. (about a 1000 rolls of med tape snached from old job). Once I see myc start to grow I just take the tape off. like he said the dry verm layer is there for a reason folks.
If you worry about contams use a coffee filter. (not really needed but it makes a pretty dust cover)

Polyfil lids have always a good option too. You can innoc. right through the polyfil hole safely with a sterile needle. Any of you guys remember Mycotas Cadillac of lids? The Perfect Lid Theres links to a couple of other cool lids also

oooo i see. this thread started to confuse me. you guys thought i said i boil my jars with nothing on. i meant i use tinfoil to boil and then i take the tinfoil off and use nothing.

What about bird seed jars? Do you need the tape the whole time?

Tip: FORGET THE TAPE!!!!
edited to say: When doing whole grains use Tyvek or polyfil for filtration/gas exchange and leave tape on the inoculation hole if used. I'd recommend inoculating thru the polyfil or Tyvek, when inoculating thru Tyvek or any holes the tape to use is micropore (breathable) tapes then they can be left on.
