A Simple And Effective Lid Tek. * 2
    #20970377 - 12/13/14 09:07 AM (9 years, 5 months ago)

Supplies List:

1.  Drill
2.  Featured in this thread is a 5/64th drill bit.
3.  Tube of RTV silicone (color is irrelevant).
4.  1 synthetic filter disk. 
5.  A nickle.
6.  Pen.
7.  Scrap piece of wood.
8.  Scissors.
9.  PP5 plastic lids.



You can begin anywhere you want.  I begin with the modification of the lids themselves first by placing my lid face up on a piece of scrap wood to catch my drill bit once the lid has been penetrated.



Drill three holes clustered together in a triangle formation. These cluster of holes can be placed any where on the lid.  I choose to put them in the center, because injection ports are not utilized.



Now, let's construct and install the synthetic filter disk.  A nickle is placed on the SFD.  The circumference is traced with a pen, then cut out with a pair of scissors. 

   

Next, a thin bead of RTV silicone is placed on the outside of SFD modification.



Carefully place the disk over the holes and press down lightly to adhere the disk to the lid.  Be mindful not to cover the holes you drilled with the RTV silicone by applying too much slicone , and or pressing the disk to the lid too hardly.



That's it.  Enjoy your new lids.  If you plan on making these lids for larger jars than quart sized, I would recommend using more or wider holes to compensate for the increased amount of gas exchange required for larger colonizing substrates.

I just recieved my SFDs in the mail & am buying plastic lids to make some.

The only difference is am going to use a quarter sized piece of filter and a 1/4" hole.

Thought this was pretty standard. I've seen 3/8" used too.

That's why I am doing this instead of drilling 3 small holes in a triangle formation.

What benefits do the small holes in that formation have hamloaf?

With multiple holes you get better flow of gas exchange. 
The best way is to use the hole disk, and have the holes as far apart from each other as possible.
The way that I do it with the holes clustered together allows for the cultivator to stretch their filter disks out and get nine lids out of one disk.

Simple air movement principles. 
With multiple holes air can be drawn into one hole while being expelled from another for a better flow of gas exchange/air.
The more holes, the more gas exchange/air flow is increased.

No need for an injection port.
In front of a flowhood LC's can be inoculated with ease by removing the lid using the "wedge and transfer" technique.

These lids are not exactly designed for the beginner and are best used in front of a flowhood.

Same way I do my lids :thumbup:

I had a few that I did the whole SHIP outta silicon then found it was easier just to crack the lid in the SAB and squirt.

Hmm, maybe I'll try this instead of one bigger hole.

Way to steal my lid tek and call it your own asshole!
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19093900

JUST KIDDING HAH :raisemyglass:

I'm glad someone else thought of this! It maks total sense for gas exchange but since I wrote that tek I have switched to using giant 3/4" holes and uncut synthetic filter disks.

I dont understand. Do you guys enjoy working in SAB's or do you have flow hoods and dont need the injection port? I used the injection port and work in open air. Starting with MS then making GLC from the MS jars.

working in a SAB is easy if you build it big enough and have motor skills at least as good as michael j fox. it just takes some practice. using injection ports is bogus. just take the lid off in a sterile environment.

You will need that skill anyway, if you plan to G2G or use agar. No time like the present.
