I use tape on tubs. Break grain apart on the floor or a chair or your hand.

A single layer of duct tape doesn't block out all light in my experience so you would probably need several layers. In addition, the garbage bag functions not only to reduce/prevent side-pinning but also to prevent water pooling on the surface of the mycelium. With the bag in place, condensation is able to drip down the sides of the tub and down under the bag.
For the jars, I honestly just use what evolution presented our species with: hands. I really don't think that needs much explanation.

Water on top of the sub? How is that going to be prevented by a bag under it?
And no, I haven't had trouble.
But let me add that I really don't care for standard monotubs, I don't get very good results like that.

Just FYI blocking out light will not keep pins from forming regardless whether its duct tape, trash bags, you name it. Give em some FAE and a nice moist environment, those fuckers will grow anywhere it would seem. To much amazement, I've *heard* of peeking underneath a bulk sub (yes in a mono) only to find dozens of fully formed fruits across the entire thing. Yeah, that was a fucked up day (so I hear).

As I stated in a previous post, the bag forms a barrier between the sub and the sides of the tub so that droplets formed via condensation slide down the sides of the tub and down underneath the bag. The bag is deliberately folded inward, away from the sides of the tub. Does that make sense?
