Lid Resolutions

I recently saw the tek on using easy felt as a filter or even a SFP. My inquiry is due to the innovation of 1 piece lids, IE plastic lids. I'm not sure of the overall consensus on plastic lids, but having no ring seems so much more logical. Serious opinions on plastic lids and longevity.

If no to plastic lids, what are the views on siliconing using RTV of the metal ring to the jar lid/SFD? It would keep it as 1 piece and be easier less time consuming.

I'm using Pp5 containers instead of glass.  U could use a sfd and rtv silicone on the lids.

I use plastic lids, with healable injection port covers harvest from the tops of test tubes.  They also use a two SFDs for GE, one on top of the lid, one on the bottom, and are both held in place by RTV silicone.

They have been through about 4 grows right now, and I have noticed very few issues.  The most prominent is that the silicone sometimes will begin to peel off the plastic after a grow or two.  Letting the jars cool VERY slowly inside the PC may totally prevent this, but I have to do so many PC runs that I don't have that kind of time.  lol.  This hasn't seemed to hinder sterility a discernible amount, but it is a pain to keep remaking the lids.  I might try using sandpaper to help adhesion.

They have already more than earned any effort put into them, IMHO.

Also, something I found out after I made them was that water is unable to pass through SFDs.  Which means no wicking of contaminates into your jars, and you don't need foil during a pressure cook.

The only problem I've had was the ring came off into an lc once, and be sure to score the plastic before you apply rtv, or it'll peel like mentioned. Otherwise plastic has worked fine for me.
