monotub questions

Hey all, im going to attempt 2 monotubs soon, and I have a couple questions regarding the ingredients. (disregard the mushroom pics)
-Is that the right RTV silicone that can be PC'd? -That is the PC I got, im super stoked about it, and im hoping someone on here has it and has good things to say about it(experiences, tips on using it the first time) -the picture of the pouch is the gypsum I bought, is that the correct kind that can be used? I afraid it might be too concentrated, but its my first time using it so that's why im asking. -How much water do I put in the PC when using 7-1L jars? -Is that the type of Tyvek suit that can be cut up and used as a filter? If not, can someone post a pic of it?
thanks guys, I appreciate any help/answers!

can you link me the postal envelopes? I was looking at them but wasn't sure on the correct kind.
Where do you get yours from if not online

Why would they pay to ship something they're giving to you for free? That's a heavy sense of entitlement you got going on. Take your car and drive to a UPS station if you don't want to pay for it.

YOU obviously misunderstood what I was saying. And you know what happens when you assume. By the way, thanks for contributing to the post man your info will be vital to my success, I don't see why you don't have a TC tag on your name with all the helpfulness you offer to people.

This too. You need a certain model of tyvek, it's not all the same. The ones I've ordered from amazon work for me and have given me repeated success.

They are denser than the overalls but aside from that, I don't know.
You can use my information or not. I've successfully done a mono before.

IDK exactly what that is but I'm not sure I would trust it. I'd rather spend the 11 $ on 11 SFDs! they're the rolls royce of filters.

That's what I plan to do next, a lot of growers like to use SFD's and always have great colonization in their jars, so I'll give it a try.

I ordered some SFD but I think im going to get some tyvek envelopes just incase, figured itd be better to have everything and do 6 with the filters, 3 with the tyvek coveralls, and 3 with the envelope and see what colonizes the best.

yea, either way, maybe ill just try it on 1 jar, its free and you cant beat that lol.
when using the tyvek suit as the filter should I double up on it, put two pieces together and then glue that on top, or would that fuck up the FAE and just one be sufficient?

I would think using two would inhibit proper GE, one should be enough.
Also make sure your your GE hole isn't too large. Last time I made grain jars, I drilled a 1/2" hole in the lid with a piece of tyvek envelope under it, and had slow growth as well as dry grains.

when I did my PF tek jars I used a 5/62"(maybe 5/67" or something I forget) for the GE/inoculation holes and it worked great. Im thinking about going a little smaller than 1/4" hole, what size would you recommend? also, If I was going to make 2 holes one for innoc and one for gas exchange(I know, don't do this) what size do you think would be suffiecient. Because im thinking about making one RTV hole for innoc and another hole for the GE just like you guys said. I don't like opening the lids I feel like its easier to get contams in a SAB, as currently i have a 100% success rate on my PF/BRF jars, and i would like to keep that going.
