Smooth and usually stronger, as the plastic is thicker at that point where it melted. When making larger holes I will drill and then hold a lighter under the hole. This makes the hole bigger and gives it a nice strong thicker ring of plastic. Also gets rid of any jagged bits.

Yeah sometimes they end up on their sides.  Otherwise.... I dunno?  I use two of the metal circle things at the bottom of the PC when I do pasty plates so that I know that I can get away with not even filling up the water to the level of the plates.  I think the AA came with 2 but I use one from my old PC and then one that the AA came with to give them just a little more height.  There really doesn't have to be much water to PC some agar.  I've never run dry once.




I put 3-4 wide mouth 1/2 pints on the bottom trivet, put the extra trivet on top of the jars, and stack my plates that way. I've also folded aluminum foil into small cubes to elevate the bottom trivet off the water without incident.

I do that too sometimes.  If I have any glass jars I'll put those on the bottom layer.  I usually don't have all of one type of plate available at one time, it's a mix of them every PC cycle.

Too much work. The heat from the nail leaves the plastic lid smooth. I've made easily over 200+ pasty plates last month! Lol

:themoreyouknow:

I'll probably only grab two or three more 8 packs but I'll try the hot nail trick :thumbup:.

I highly doubt the strengthened plastic between drilling holes and melting them makes a big difference :lol:

I find it difficult to want to torch the drill bit between lids when it has plastic shavings on it..

I use a wood burning tool to put holes in my pasty's and it too makes the edges real smooth from the heat.

I use silicone tubes for most of my filters now. The siicone is squashed and put into a hole and let expand again forming a good seal. In this photo it is going through glass. With plastic if there is the slightest flaw or cut on the edge the force of the silicone can crack the plastic. By heating the edge I get a much stronger hole which will not crack. This allows me to use really flimsy and cheap plastic containers.

Hey guy's if your plates are floating in the PC use jar rings to elevate the plates right out of the water. Two layers of jar rings and some foil to make a level surface. Just like pf tek.

:thumbup:,

I try to run enough that they stack on each other and weigh each other down. My PC is full right now for instance.

A little different then heating it for a micropore tape but that's solid :thumbup:

Any of you guys noticed any negative consequences to letting them float around in the water in the PC? I normally try to weigh them down but I've been doing mush shit all day, tired as fuck :lol:




I put rusty jar rings on the bottom, two stacks.  Seven on the bottom, four on top of those, then put the bottom thing from my PC on top of that.  Just enough water that it's level with my new bottom.  I think the same concept would work with jars (jars + bottom thing, whatever it's called).

*edit* and beaten by Pasty!

Just put a circular cutout of cardboard underneath plastic lids. They'll be sturdy enough to drill right through without fucking shit up. My Forstner bit is awesome for that.

Tagyo, don't let them float. I would  fill my pc to just over the trivet ,and the one time I didn't use a paper towel, the mini round sucked a bunch of water up and crushed itself. The rest were fine, but I don't do that anymore.

Yep I've had that happen with glass when I let the water percolate up through the foil.

I have one of the metal circle things, gonna just drop the water level. I had one plate end up on it's side and I thought it was fucked. I just cleaned it to put it into the current PC cycle and the agar was both fine and non-contaminated after sitting in my mush room for over 2 weeks now.

Just gonna weigh 'em down then. Thanks Inoc :thumbup:

Has anyone else noticed the pasty plates are easy as fuck to drill? I literally stack three ontop of each other and drill through all three, works like a charm.




I stack them and melt the holes with a hot screwdriver. works great.

I did a no pour glass agar plate (grocery agar bar recipe), and I needed to wrap it with saranwrap/micropore. How do I dry off the glass after PCing for it to stick? Do I need a sterilized cloth or something?

For a glass agar plate I would wrap the whole thing in foil before PCing and let cool. Then leave it wrapped until you use it. The  wrap with saran or parafilm. Don't use micropore on a glass plate.
