This is great.  I made my first monotub this evening and made the polymag (check is in the mail for $0.10).

I found it easier to iron the poly between a sheet of paper towel.  I took one sheet off the roll and folded in half.  I then put the poly between between the folded sheet and ironed the paper towel.  It seemed to work better as I was having a difficult time getting the iron to move smoothly across the poly without the poly bunching up or melting a bit.

Thanks again ... the magnets are genius!!

:lol: I'll put it on your tab. If you post results, PM me s I don't miss it. I want to keep up with everyone trying the ironed poly and/or polymags.

What about EZ Felt instead of iron poly?  Two layers of EZ should suffice?  I'm making a mono right now and I have all the materials needed for polymags.

One step ahead of ya man. I got ez-felt too. I'm going to try 1 layer though. Seems like 2 layers might block to much air flow. When I blow through 1 layer, it feels about like the ironed poly.

Also, with the magnets, some seem stronger than others. I don't know why.

im gonna work on making these magnet filters this week. also, it helps if you want to pressure cook or sterilize the filters prior to your next spawn run. you can easily remove the filter and put a clean one on. im not forgetting about this one. i will get it done!

what makes this so cool for an environment where you incubate where you fruit is the fact that you can put the double magnet on the holes. that is user friendly. very good idea!

Pretty easy to go from covered holes to filtered holes.

How do you feel about those magnets? Honest opinion. Do they seem to stay on well? Do you think it might be worth the effort?

I constructed two tubs already with polymags, they stay on great.  I'm loving the sleek look of the EZFelt mag filters too rather than stuffed poly.  I'll upload some pics here or in a new grow log within the next couple days.

I like it a lot.  The fact that they are neat and dont get snagged on anything is a plus.  Since I am a n00b at this hobby I dont have any experience with the original monotub setup.

I am a bit concerned that the filters will be too dense to allow the proper amount of air through.  I put one up to my mouth and was able to blow though it but will it be too much for the tub?

Thanks again ... like you said earlier you may have to twist the mags around a bit to get them to stick but it is clean.

I'm wondering the same thing.  There are also various factors to the filter design... 

Are you using ironed poly?  Are you using EZFelt?  Are you using one or two layers?  Maybe one layer of EZFelt or ironed poly IS too much restriction...  Maybe 1 layer is too little and two layers is too much...  Who knows?

I've been wondering all these questions the past few days since I constructed mine.  Been asking around as well, can't seem to get an answer...

I now have two tubs colonizing for the past 3 days so I guess we will find out soon.  Currently, I'm using only 1 layer of EZ on my polymags. 

It just seems like more testing needs to be done before we know for sure.

I used 4 layers of ironed poly.  I had to place them between a paper towel to get it hot enough to iron without melting or having the poly get stuck to my iron.

The filters look great ... and my tub is doing great while colonizing ... I'm just concerned about the filters when I am ready to fruit.

im testing the ironed filters with 2 ply thick and 4 ply thick. so far things look good in both. if the results are the same ill probably make the 2 ply thick because they take quite some time to make.

i looked all over for ez felt and couldn't find it unfortunately. i would run side by sides of each. im gonna bust out my drill soon to make these magnets.

I found if you just trace the circle out, it can easily be cut with scissors just by starting a slice at the bottom of the square to the start of your tracing, then just cut the circle out.  The ones I use are very flexible and cutting a slit at the bottom doesn't effect functionality. 

The first time I tried to drill one out I completely destroyed it...  I don't know how Spit did it but he is one crazy guy.

I've worked with my hands a lot, so I can have a delicate touch when needed. I like your idea with the scissors chief. Seems a lot less messy and more controllable.
