Tyvek or No Tyvek
    #22028940 - 08/01/15 03:04 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

There seems to be a lot of different views on this. I am doing a wbs tek using quart sized jars. I have been using tyvek envelopes along with poly fill. Is this over-kill? Would poly-fill be ok by itself? The reason I ask is that I have been reading some articles that say tyvek envelopes do not allow proper gas exchange.

Thanks in advance!!!!

its overkill.  i used tyvek (alone) when i first started, and it didn't restrict GE, but i made the lids the easy way, so there was a lot of overhang, and since i couldn't get all the nooks and crannies of the tyvek with iso, my g2g would get messed up sometimes because when u take the lid off, that possibly dirty tyvek is hanging over ur clean grains.
other people dig it though, so :shrug:

poly is just easier, and just as safe.

So when I put my jars in the pc with foil on top of course...will the foil be enough to keep excess moisture out?

OP, look into getting some SFD lids, they are the optimal filter and are super easy to work with. Just cut out quarter sized pieces and silicone it over your GE hole. That's it.

But, If you wanna stick with tyvek, I suggest using "kite-making tyvek over the postal mail kind (I got mine from amazon). It is more porous, and allows better GE.

:whathesaid:
I'm ordering SFDs tomorrow, but I've never used tyvek...I have had wonderful success with Polyfil. It probably isn't needed, but I like to double layer my foil. That way the Polyfil never gets wet...I use the long rolls of foil, so just tear off a piece about 6 inches wide, fold in half, and there you go. Easy double foil layer.
