I did this filter test awhile back. It might be of interest to some of you in this thread.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15431433

Its far from a scientific study, but I have both SFDs and EZ felt disks. Having used both, I don't prefer one over the other. They both seem to work equally well.

Tyvek is better than pollyfill or felt and you know it.



Yes,the kite tyvek(real tyvek) is so thin, and the pores lose their integrity with every PC cycle...whats not to love?

On the other hand, if you do not want a paper thin filter, look into EZ Felt or stuffing the hole with polyfill.

Contams will have a harder time penetrating a thicker filter....I thought this was common sense.....




That's not the right tyvek either that's like roofing roll tyvek.

You have to use the tyvek from painting suits or powder coating suits.

Know why powder coating workers don't wear Polly suits???????




dude, why are you so bent on trying to convince people that polyfill doesn't work? It works, whether you say it does or doesn't. Just because you use SFD doesnt mean everyone has to. RR already stated why he uses SFD on the thread:thumbup: It is easier for him to get. Did he say it was inferior and couldn't be used? No. I use poly, many TC use poly. I wish I could find a thread that showed a wide arrange of filters up close, that would settle things..

http://www.fungifun.org/English/Tyvek




I never said it doesn't work. I stated to the OP that you can't use a surgical 

mask like an sfd and that you should use tyvek instead of felt.

Then narcesist hacker had to tell me I'm wrong instead of helping the OP like always.

Pollyfill and felt

are not as good as tyvek and SFDs everyone knows that. Its common sense.

I never said they don't work.




If you cut easy felt into a disk it is a SFD lol. There really is not a difference. When you have concrete evidence that one filter is better than another then I'll give you:congrats:

Until then look at this
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15451187#15451187

even tyvek has holes in it...
If I were to bundle polyfill it would be the same exact thing... it is not, as you say, trying to catch a fly with a fence

I think polyfil is superior to SFD because it's cheaper, works just as well, and you can even inoculate through it if needles are your thing.

... Things can't be better or worse than each other if they both work, they can only have pro's and con's

Is gas better than diesel
PC better than mac.
Depends on who you ask.
Truth is if someone says one is better than the other they're a product yuppie. Anyone worth their brain knows that more than one thing can get the job done, use what you like, and don't be a knob about it.

Fuck, they both suck...YLODs and RRODs.......get a PC and play them all without the worry of your system overheating from lack of competence by the manufacturer....

My computer will run circles around the PS4..............much better graphics as well..

Iv'e never had my PlayStation over heat in any generation over heat... I bought my PS3 the first day they came out and it still works like new. Pc's cost double what a console costs and they dont work straight outta the box.

Plus all I need is Duty, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid...

You guys are retarded. There is no way PS4 is better than SFD's. But Mac is way better than ez felt.

:2cents:

Seriously, I've used ez-felt and SFD's.

Ez-felt works fine and it's cheap. Technically, it's synthetic and when you cut it in to a disc and use it as a filter, it becomes a SFD.

But, when people speak of SFD's, we are generally referring to those really tightly woven material found on many myco supply sites.

EZ-felt is not the exact same thing. It works, but I notice it seems to get flimsy after a few runs. I can actually see light glare through the loose weave. I never had a contam issue with it, but it may be because I quit using the disc after a few runs. It may have still worked fine, but I didn't trust it.

I'm not sayin everyone should only use SFD's, but there is definitely a difference. SFD's are much thicker and tightly woven.(or pressed or however they're made).

If all you got is tyvek or polyfill, you can make it work. It happens all the time. If it works, it works and that's all that matters. The only inferior choice is the one you can't make work for you.

SFD's are nice and I'm glad I bought them.
