HELP. Jar Tape Issue.
    #18773756 - 08/29/13 03:48 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I just ordered and shot up 4 brf pf tek jars from shroomery sponsor everything mushroom today. I emailed them and asked if I should retape the holes after inoculation. They said "yes" so I did. My question is scotch tape okay to use? What about gas exchange?

If there's a dry layer of verm in the top of the jars then tape is not needed.

If you must use tape then use 3M Micropore, that will provide GE.
Scotch is no go, use micropore.

I just swapped out the scotch for 3M micropore. I did it as sterile as I could and as quickly as I could. I'm hoping this mistake didn't' cause contamination.  Thanks for the heads up. The jars were only sealed with scotch for about 5 hours. Do you think that that could also be a problem? Did I kill the spores?

You're fine dude! If it was 5 hours, you're fine. Don't worry about contams while switching tape, the dry verm layer is there for a reason, to be a barrier between your cakes and the outside world. You could even leave the tape off and be fine. Keep it on anyways though, best of luck
