no the holes in the coffee filter are way to big tyvek has a tighter woven mesh that filters out contams better

Polyfil is available 24/7. Tyvek is almost that abundant too. There's lots of sources for tyvek, including envelopes from office supply stores.

Polyfil is pillow stuffing, some people have sacrificed a stuffed animal. But you can buy a big bag for about $5. Or get a tyvek painters suit for about $10.

no, cotton is nutritive and can transfer contams into your jar/bag. you will use polyfill. it's the stuff in your pillow.

A Coffee filter will not work.
The math does not and will not add up.
the average coffee filter pore size is 5 to 100 microns and Most fungal spores range from 1 to 100 microns in size with many types between 2 and 20 microns. Bacteria range in size from 0.1 to 15 micron, with some " giants "that may reach half a millimeter.
Its like trying to stop ping-pong balls with a volleyball net.

drill a hole in the lid, stuff the polyfill through the hole.
inject through the polyfill if you want, or for a cleaner injection site, add a self healing injection port by drilling another hole and covering it with a layer of RTV or Silicone on the top and bottom of the lid.

No cotton ever its natural and mold and what not will eat it you want polyfil poly like plastic. You cut a pencil size hole in the middle of the lid and stuff it with enuff poly-fil so its snug but air can pass then cover with tinfoil.

noob question: What is tyvek and what do you use it for? To cover inoculation holes? I thought you use micropore tape for that.

tyvek is a synthetic paper-like product that allows gas exchange. They use it for home wrap and for mail parcels. It's better than micropore because it comes in large sheets instead of a narrow, expensive, tape.
