Covering holes for pressure cooking

I've looked around quite a bit and seen people say to get polyfill/tyvek, and some work about micropore tape.
I've got four holes in my lid in a square formation on the outer rims, and I covered each hole with two layers of micropore tape. Is this safe for pressure cooking?

micropore tape is fine, you're going to put foil over the lids anyway to keep water out
after done PC'n and cool, remove foil, insert needle thru the tape, and as long as you have dry verm layer you dont need to replace the tape.

Thank you Biologies. One more question. Will I be putting the foil over top of the already screwed on lid?

yes the only reason for the foil is to keep water from getting in the jars.

Isn't that what I put the tape on for? Sorry for all the questions this is just my first time and I fucked up 24 jars earlier. Not enough supplies to fuck up 24 jars again. :/

Heyyyy buddy. Youll be safe.. But why would you use two peices it seems to me personally like with the adhesive being doubled up you might not get great gas exchange. Water can go through micropore te that's why we use a square of tinfoil over the lid.
Most people do a silicone injection port, for one hole, going with rtv silicone from the auto part store because it's heat resistant and silicone bevause the hole heals up after you pull the needle out.
Another hole is needed for gas exchange.. This can be a single layer of micropore tape, a little wad of synthetic pillow stuffing called polyfil, or a filter of some sort.
So basically you need a gas exchange hole and an injection port and still have a decent contamination barrier.
I personally, have never done Amy of that. I started out with scotch tape and bandaids and now I use micropore tape for everything. Even the injection port. If you're making cakes you don't need any of that. An inch of verm filling what would be the empty space in the jar is an effective contamination barrier.

yeah but the square of tin foil... do I put the lid with holes on, then a square of tin foil over that, then screw on the ring? Or lid, screw on the ring, then tin foil on that?

Put the ring on and then crimp the tinfoil close to the jar

put your lid on, then your jar ring, then you just put the foil over the complete lid, and crimp the sides of foil to the jar, as i said its just usd to keep water out, soon as you take it out of the PC you're removing the foil and throwing it away o rkeeping it for other jars...
