Tape on Pf Tek jars

After I have inoculated them do I need masking tape or micro pore tape over the holes? In RRs video tek series I dont see it.
Any comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks everyone!

Nope the dry verm layer is enough.
Me I taped(micropore) and shot through the holes, granted my holes where 1/4".

I put the micropore tape on and inoculated through it. I then left the tape on - it doesn't seem to want to come off easily in any event. This gives me some fresh air exchange through the holes????

It's not needed but, if you live in a place where the sterility is questionable, you can use it, just shoot through the tape and the pores+needle hole should be sufficient for GE. Otherwise, the dry verm layer will be sufficient.

FAE is not neccessary for colonization, GE is, this is why we leave the holes uncovered and/or use porous tape.

I tape PF jars with transpore after I shoot them, for extra protection. . It's pretty much optional.

You are right there...I watch in horror as the micropore tape that I was removing ripped my silicone'd tyvek from off my jar lid.
The idea with Pf-tek cakes is that the verm is the barrier to contams. While the holes are good for GE, and they can get too large and potentially allow cakes to dry out, their size and placement is really critical.
Take care,
