So how many runs, at the most, through the PC, have you put the EZ-Felt material and, have you noticed any change in pore size the more and more it runs through the PC?




Well I have been using this for 9 or so months now
and if I had to guess how many times a filter had been cycled through the PC
I would guess 30 or 40 times without a single sign of deterioration.

My thoughts are, since it is polyfil that has been ironed out into a mat and is a synthetic material,
I treat it as a synthetic filter disk with a polyfil melting point and characteristics.

I could see this stuff lasting quite a long time and on par with a vendor sold SFD.
In any case the cost simply rules out any concerns,
I would gladly pay a couple of dollars every couple of years
to replace them if that was the case. These are just my thoughts and
everyone is different and has different preferences/concerns/tastes.


I'm Glad everyone is liking the material so far,
I haven't had any neg responses from anyone I have given this stuff too.



:obamadre:



Thanks for your reply, and, I believe you. 

Good point about the life span (thus far) far outweighing the ratio of cost.  I can agree with that.  In my belief, this easy-felt contraption's proven EASIER to locate, over synthetic filter disks.

Yeah, he has it backwards, but IME there's really no point in using them over polyfil for monotubs.
Too hard to gauge the GE and a PITA to adjust, I'm sure it can perform a tub just fine but I'm just stickin' it to my lids for now on.

Quick question on EZ-Felt, I bought the exact same stuff in your first recommended picture.  Actual white EZ-Felt, same model number, etc.  Anyway, I made some jar lids up, I use RTV for injection ports and instead of my usual quarter sized tyvek layer, I used an EZ-Felt layer attached with RTV.  Now, today I gave my jars a shake and smelled mushrooms.  When using Tyvek, this has never happened since air barely passes through building tyvek, however, I noticed immediately with the EZ-Felt lids that air passes easily through it.  Now, I don't know exactly what micron level EZ-Felt goes down too, but, it would seem to me that if mushroom mycelium particles make it out during a jar shake, then nasties could make it back in, correct?  With tyvek, I cannot blow through the 3/8" GE hole at all, but with EZ-Felt, I could blow right through it as if it were polyfill.  So, am I at risk here?  This is my first time using EZ-Felt, so I'm just curious to see if this is normal, thanks,

bbox - :shrug2: I wish I could help you. I've only used SFDs for jar lids, which is, basically, two layers of EZ-Felt.

I doubt you're @ risk for contams vs. tyvek as many users on here use EZ-felt.

Good to know, just out of curiousity, when you shake SFD filtered jars, do you smell mushrooms?  Thanks,

Thanks a bunch, that makes me feel MUCH better.  I've been waiting on all sorts of nasties to take over my jars, and doing 17 my first time with EZ-Felt, I got a bit nervous :wink:  So far, everything looks good since the shake, everything's colonizing fine, no mold or bacteria signs at all.

  Some of the WBS was so tightly colonized I had to give a couple jars a whack on a car tire, the bicycle tire in my lab didn't cut it, so I had to take them outside which always makes me nervous.  I have a clean air environment inside.  Those are fine too, I just had some really crazy PESA mono-cultures which are extremely rhizomorphic and they are extremely fast, on agar, it was incredible, and now in grains, it's really amazing, these cultures are just eating up anything I put them on.  Now, they just have to fruit, and I'll really be happy :wink:  Thanks for the help.

A little note on usage of EZ-Felt: My felt "boards" were bent when they arrived and I had some trouble getting the bent circles to stay flat when RTV'ing them, so I used a clothing iron on a very low temp, to flatten them a bit, I had to throw a couple away at first since the temp was too high and they shrank, so, using a very low temp I was able to flatten them and then they adhered to the lids perfectly, without losing any thickness.  Hopefully this helps someone who runs into the same problem, this stuff is rigid, so if it's bent, it's hard to get a good seal using RTV.  The iron makes it perfectly flat using low temps, without effecting thickness.

Am I missing something?  Wouldn't it be better to have the ez-felt on for colonization and loose polyfill for fruiting?




i think the ez felt is on par with "very loose" polyfill(almost falling out)

ive done some simple tests like geting a paper-towel role
attaching ez felt ,tight poly-fil,and loose poly-fil
to the end of three separate tubes

i find their is very little difference in the loose poly vs. the ez felt
its hard to belive, but the test are very easy to re-create

also to the rest of the people in this thread,my friend brought the idea up of using a "hole punch" of the felt come fruiting time

i thought i was an interesting idea having to do with "adjusting" the felt

I have a question about the stiffness/rigidity of the ez felt.  Is it supposed to bend very easily like paper would, or should it be stiff like cardboard?  I've looked at a few different kinds, and they all bend very easy even though they're rather thick (even the kind with a sticker on the back)

I decided to get a few sheets of the bendy kind, made by eco fi, should these work?
