Trash can liner problems =P

Ill be spawning some brf cakes to high mountain compost in a few days. Just getting everything ready. Im using a 64 qt tub. Went to push a trash can liner in it today, was taping it to the walls with gorilla tape, when I noticed a rather large problem.
Apparently the trash can liner isnt wide enough for this tub, and I think thats about as big as I can get, atleast from my grocery store. Its a 55 gallon bag *shrug*. Really deep, just not crazy wide. Is their anything that I can use as a replacement?
I know the reason for the trash can liner is that it conforms to the substrate as it shrinks. Ive also got black duct tape lining the bottom 4 inches (on the outside), to block light, though ive heard its not necessary. Maybe press and seal would work? Ive got it on hand, and it seems like it would do the job rather well.

Cut and tape the plastic to conform to your tub? I don't even use bags. I use plastic sheeting cut to shape, folded and taped into little rectangular liners. Sounds like a lot of work, but really isn't much more effort than making a paper airplane.

don't stress out over this. cut the bag so it flattens out and can then fit uniformly in each of the corners of your tub or tray. don't use tape at all at any point in the process. when you're about to spawn place the bag down in the tub then toss in your spawn and bulk then cut the excess plastic bag that's remaining above substrate level. don't tape the bag to the walls of the tub or tray.
