I was thinking of using a Lexan clear plastic sheet for my mono window on top but it says that it has UV protection, which means it blocks some UV light. Would that mess with the amount of light
10" X 8" Clear Polycarbonate Sheet 250 times stronger than glass Maximum engery savings Blocks harmful UV Rays Virtually Unbreakable
Wanted the 16"x12" but they only have that in glass.Will this be okay or should I use acrylic which doesn't say it has UV protection, 10" X 8" Clear Acrylic Sheet Excellent weatherability and insulating properties 20 times stronger than glass 10 year non-yellowing warranty Made in the USA quick responses please I am leaving for store in an hour or so and I can't find a place that sells sheets of plexiglass.

I'd take 'with UV'. 
Next time, consider using a clear tub.

I looked and looked for a clear tub bought two of them but the lid is blue on both. I figure I would just use my saw and spend $1.34 instead of buying a whole new $10 tote. So the UV protection won't block any of my blue spectrum that pins like?

"With UV", no blocking.
But if the sides are clear... set it near a window.

Can plexi glass be cut to size in Lowes just like regular glass or could I use just regular glass? I found a regular glass sheet at same store the exact right size while the plexi is either too big or too small?

So I am confused, you are saying get the acrylic without UV protection?

I would go without the UV protection. The best pin sets I've gotten were from sunlight monos

Why wouldn't you just use saran-wrap?
Cut the hole in the lid, then duct tape the saran-wrap over the hole...?

Just got back from my excursion, I had to go to at least 10 different stores. I forgot to get the plexi-glass but I have two of the same tubs so I think I am going to just save 11 bucks and cut out the bottom of one of the tubs and tape it over the hole I make in the lid for the other. I bought a cheap pillow for the pollyfil, 12 quart jars, high temp RTV silicone, Gypsum, 10 pounds of rye berries, a meat thermometer, a five gallon bucket with lid, and I borrowed a PC that will do six quarts at 15PSI. The only thing I couldn't find is a tyvek paint suit, the ones I saw said they blocked microns to 0.3 whatever that means but I didn't know if it was good enough.(Have all other tools and items also if I left anything out)
Does anyone know what kind of envelopes to ask for at the post office, I would feel kind of weird walking in asking for a bunch of tyvek envelopes and when they say what size I just say the biggest you got. What are the actual envelopes called because I stopped at the closed post office on the way home and went into the PO box room but they were all out of envelopes. The only envelopes I have ever seen from USPS are the cardboard ones. I even looked in the AC filter aisle at Meijer to see if anything looked like it would work.Could I have just used the paint suit I saw or does it have to be tyvek?
Someone please tell me what to ask for at the post office or tell me where to get some tyvek or something that will work better than polyfil.

I have two totes that stack perfectly on top of each other so I am going to cut the bottom off of one and silicone and duct tape it to the hole I cut(it will actually let me cut a bigger window. Then I am going to tape and silicone some heavy plastic on the one with no bottom and make a glove box out of it. The reason is that my light source has to sit right on top of the window, I rigged it up by taking apart a lamp then tying the cord into a knot on the hook of a hanger that I bent in a "V" shape. It works awesome, holds the bulb about 1/4 inch from the window on top.

Can I use a filter cut from a paint suit with a .3 micron rating instead of a tyvek GE filter for quart rye jars?

I looked at paint suits and they weren't tyvek, they were more like a dry acne pad or a round gauze pad consistency. They guy at the store told me the don't use tyvec on paint suits anymore and the new stuff is better

todlow said that the USPS tyvek isnt as good as the paint suit, RR in his video uses 2 layers of the envelope tyvek.
