Dialing in a monotub?
    #19378424 - 01/06/14 06:03 PM (10 years, 24 days ago)

I've read a lot of discussion about micropore tape and polyfill on monotubs. Granted the micropore tape gives a lot cleaner look. I've heard it falls short in the fae dept. now I also hear that the micropore tape does well for GE.

So how about putting micropore tape on the bottom holes( because isn't that the main reason for the bottom holes is so co2 will escape?) and then packin polyfill in the top for your fae?

I'm sure there are people that have done this, so if some of ou have done this with success let me know

it's not for c02 escape co2 rises not sinks, air comes freely through the top and is forced out the bottom, stick some micrpore over your mouth, it's not very fun

:whathesaid: or stuff a water bottle hole  with tight poly fill and compact it. then do the same with micropore tape. the bottle with micropore tape will be harder to push down on.

I like the idea tho, maybe something other than micropore? Gauze? Felt?

Poly is just so frustrating for me, especially when some people make it look so easy, neat and tidy

I guess it will get easier, just got a couple dozen tubs to fill first :shrug:

Just don't cover the entire hole with the tape. Same effect.
The larger the opening the more air gets through.
The looser the polyfill the more air gets through.

For the most part anyway. The polyfill is more like a bunch of tiny holes spread over a wider area.

Does easy felt work just as well as poly fill(same material) Maybe 2 layers on bottom holes and only one on top?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you Cronicr. Are you saying co2 is lighter than air, and that it rises, not falls?

not saying it's lighter then air,if you put it in a balloon it will fall to the floor, however it mixes with the air and is carried up with naturaurl air and heat currents, if co2 settled we would all be dead:thumbup:

I actually have felt on my monotubs as we speak and I've been looking for any ideas on how to dial in my tub. I will let you know how the felt goes instead of polyfill. I may have to put a second layer of felt on the bottom holes. Here are my tubs

I've considered the same with the dialing in limitation of somewhat permanent filters on a mono. Other than the doubling up on the bottom holes I would also consider partially covering the holes, say a quarter inch at a time, with electrical tape until the desired result is achieved. Other ideas?

Hmm that is a thought, but my holes are a little less than 2". I made sure to cover the entire hole equally and make a great seal. I hate contams lmao as everyone else does. IMO polyfill is too much of a bitch and would be hard for me to troubleshoot/get correct. I will think of a way to dial in the tubs, but I'm almost sure they will be just fine and dialed in. We shall see :biggrin: I will let you know by tomorrow, I have my substrate cooking in the bucket as we speak  :nut:
