Your dollar is my dollar store cronicr, there are 4 locations on the island (Campbell River, Port Alberni, Nanaimo and Victoria).

Delection, those are nice looking, I'd use 'em! Just found me some more glass though (for some reason I love Ball jars). They're the 4oz "dry herb jars". Pretty awesome and way easier to see through than the ones I was using before.

Those are interesting, a little small in diameter for my liking but could probably be good for use as a pseudo slant for long term storage of cultures

45 mm diameter to small? Ive been digging culture out of 17 mm tubes without issue, even if I was isolating 45mm seems big enough. I will keep you updated on how they work.

I agree, they're big enough for my use. Dunno why I'd need more? I rarely use more than 10 or so wedges from a dish, and that's when I'm sharing!

Fair enough but I like a little more room than that. Just a personal preference. No reason why they wouldn't work. I think they would have a lot of potential as a slant. I will keep an eye out for them regardless and give em a try if I find them both as a slant and as a plate

Yeah I could see 'em as a slant!
Either way you gotta ditch the plastic herb shaker lids they come with, and use those for... herbs. Or herb. Or somethin'.
I just fished out some old one hole lids and stuffed 'me with polyfill, hopefully that works this time around.

They really ain't any smaller than the glad mini rounds you're using in the OP - unless we're thinking about different items? I dunno, I'll take a side by side pic in the morning but they look about the same size to me

Herb shaker lids? they are just clear snap on lids, with no holes.

These are only 45mm wide, the glad mini rounds have to be at least 100-150mm wide.

Actually the glad mini rounds are 55mm at the bottom and widen slightly as they go up, which IMO makes it easier to get my tools in with little risk of touching the edges. They are the perfect size for my needs.
Really no pour agar can be done in a variety of containers, whatever works for a person is I like my minis as they are the perfect shape, no messing with screw tops, etc.

I like 'em too, didn't even wrap in foil and they've been sitting in my room in open air. So far no contams have managed to sneak in thru the snap on lids!

You must have gotten the bigger ones, mine I think are the 55mm ones like Pasty said.

forrester, do u mod the lid still like in the OP when u pc if u don't use foil? i remember pasty and I talking about (thru a PM, sry pasty don't hate me ) lessening the foil, and IIRC we both weren't sure if it would work, for both wetness of micropore and longevity of sterility. i don't need to worry about foil now (got a HUGE roll for x mas from my sister oddly enough hahah) but i'd like to know regardless.

I didn't have micropore tape, so I siliconed in some little circles of tyvek instead. 2 out of 8 of 'em ended up getting crushed so I guess it's not quite enough airflow but it worked ok. I like the tyvek cause it's pretty water resistant, might just try bigger holes next time.

How big of a hole did you use? I just set up a bunch of easy plates with 1/4" holes and tight-as-possible polyfill wads.

I did somewhere around 1/4" on the mini rounds with tyvek. The ball jar ones I did last night I tried exactly what you said, stuffed polyfill as tight as I could, hopefully that doesn't let anything in...
