Pulling resources to make your own filter patch spawn bags.
    #5066924 -

Disclaimer:
This post is not intended to undermine our sponsors, but rather provide an alternative to anyone seeking ways of making spawn bags with filter patches and/or injector ports.

Okay people, I've been searching the Internet for awhile now trying to find a company that sells micro-porous filter patches. Perhaps we can all pull our resources and locate a few things. This is what I feel we need:

1. A resource for autoclavable bags (I know of some).
2. A resource for micro-porous filter patches, likely adhesive.
3. A resource for injector ports.

The purpose of these findings is to allow the end user to make up their own spawn bags at a considerable savings and be able to customize how the bag will be setup. If we can locate adhesive filter patches, the patch can be placed in a location that we deem appropriate. If we want a bag with a higher filter patch to hold more spawn and prevent direct contact, we place the filter patch in a higher location.

If anyone has any ideas how we can produce this type of autoclavable bag at a cost savings, using the aforementioned customizable features, please chime in.

1. Oven bags
2. Medical porous tape, can be siliconed in place too. (I am sure agar will add his 2c, hes the first I saw to use it)
3. Blob of silicone, rub the bag with abrasive brush or sandpaper so it adheres better.

I also use tupperware containers for colonising and fruiting. Has a filter disc siliconed in place and a hole with silicone as a self healing port. Costs about 4 times as much as my a/c bags but is reusable indefinitely, most bags get damaged after a few runs. I sit the tubs directly in water too.
