Pretty cool.
How do those zip ties work out?
I've been gone for a while so I dunno if this is standard now. I use a sealer, but that would have been super cool to know before I got one.
Looks like it gives a very nice air space at the top, do they seal well?

Yea the zip ties are great! You have to kinda fold the top up and then twist before you put the zip tie on. you can actually get a little more plenum in the bag with the sealer but its not that big of a difference.
I have an impulse sealer too, it sticks sometimes doesn't always click on so I use the ties sometimes too
I think the ties are a little easier though, both are great IME

I agree with the ties. I started using them and I haven't touched my impulse sealer since. then again, I also do G2G my bags in a SAB, so it's hard to use an impulse sealer in there regardless.

Very cool, I'm gonna get some.
The sealer works well most of the time but defiantly irritates me, I get it to hot sometimes, or I have to wait for it to heat up between bags, etc.

The 3.5 mil plastic was referring to the drop cloth that I use as a liner in my tubs.
Are you talking about how to line the tubs neatly or did you mean how to fold tyvek into spawn bags before PC cycle like this photo
I fill the spawn bag and then line up the folded gussets and flatten the bag out. I then drop the tyvek sleeve down in between the g ussets, and fold the bag over itself accordian style.
Its easier to watch, download the letsgrowmushrooms videos by RR and watch the chapter that deals with spawn bags, I think its sawdust chapter
