Nice tek man-and nice rant! 
I totally agree with the spirit in which it was given and, ironically, you've given me a little boosting food for thought with a (sober!) theory of the nature of time in a space that is practically a multilayered, multicoloured superconducter.
...so thank you twice.

What is that tape that you use over the airflow holes on the sides of your bin? I notice a lot of people stuff them with something that looks like cotton.

It's micropore tape, you can find it at walgreens no problem. The "cottony" stuff is called polyfil, you can buy it at any craft store, it's just polyester filling.

I can't say enough good things about Micropore tape (however order the 2" stuff 'cuz the 1/2" stuff from walmart is too narrow)... First and foremost: you don't have to worry about your fruits growing through the tape as they so often do with the polyfill. No more pulling polyfill out of your teeth because it is thoroughly homogenized with your stem. Secondly, it keeps in moisture while letting air through- keeps your sub hydrated longer! Third, no little white puffballs protruding precariously from the side of your tubs that will inevitably get caught on stuff and pull out... Fourth, the micropore can get completely soaked and still stick to the tub, polyfill will just let water through. Micropore is the shit!

I'm really happy somebody bumped this because I had a few noob questions but didn't want to restart a two year old thread.
So I guess I don't really understand the difference between Overlay and that fully colonized top substrate layer. I mean (correct me if I'm wrong) overlay is just dead matted mycelium that create a barrier that pins cannot emerge through? I understand your colonized substrate is not dead or matted, but I guess my question is why it isn't and why casing layers become overlayed if that substrate layer isn't (If that makes sense)?
Also I'm wondering what material you used to case the top and when you know to start casing?
Apologies in advance if these answers are obvious or already answered, I'm very new, just started my first PF Cakes about week ago. I'm looking through your late casing thread and it is very interesting for sure.

50/50+ is the best casing. Casing is not really needed.
Don't worry about overlay, it is very rare.

So with this Tek it would be acceptable to neglect a casing?
Also, the colonized top layer of substrate has potential to overlay?

It would work fine with out a casing.
Don't even worry about overly. I doubt I have seen it 3 times.

In fact my friend been doing just that for a while now with great results... Most tubs reach 8 flushes with great yields and zero post-fruiting-contamination; the trick is to start spraying the subs with a light to moderate spray of water prior to dunking (after a few flushes when they start to get nasty), to remove any possible contams that might have started forming, and dunk between every flush.
When the subs start to get really slimy and mushy and break apart when you lift them (around flush 5 - 8) he lets them flush one more time and then tosses them.
As long as you keep dunking them they don't need a casing because they get all the h2o they need from you. The rest of the process is almost identical to the above tek except dehydrated manure is used instead of fresh.
One other thing to remember is that you must pasteurize for 4 hours+ because you are using enclosed bags... Whereas most people tell you to pasteurize straw in a pillow case for an hour or so, we do it for longer with this tek because the sub is more being steamed then being boiled. You see, if we threw the whole mess in a pot in a pillow case, the manure's nutrients would be leeched out by the water (which then gets thrown away) so that's why we use plastic bags and pasteurize longer. The only downside is that with this method you must get the water content of the sub right (called saturation to field capacity) because the sub cannot saturate itself while pasteurizing like in the pillow case method. I have no experience with straight straw, but I can imagine that end yields would be significantly less if the manure wasn't present to lend it's nutes, therefore the added inconvenience of the plastic bag pasteurization is well worth it.
I know you didn't ask about all that but it was a question I had when I first read this tek so that's why I explained it...
Good Luck
