How many tubes of silicone have you gone through?

 I'm just a little curious for those of you that make your own lids. I've been interested in mycology for about 6 months now and I've gone through three tubes of this stuff. I'm sure some of you have used way more. I'm currently at about 100 jars - ziplock quart, quarts and a few half pints. Making these lids takes forever..

did you sand it and then wipe with some alchohol first before you applied it? Being an oil pan you'd have to get it super clean first cuss of the oil

Wow. I don't go anywhere near that immaculate. I have never had a contaminated jar but I applaud your dedication.

To sterilize what? Alcohol works great and evaporates in a flash while bleach stays around a while

like instead of using a pressure cooking, to save time just bleach shit instead. Like I could see it working really well for LC's, but for grain/sawdust maybe problems but curious if someone tried it

bleach is a good sanitizing agent but the mix needs to be lower than 10% bleach in the water because many of the bacteria have a protection mechanism that keeps stronger bleach solutions from killing them off. I recently learned this from a biomedical engineer
I wouldnt use it for sterilizing

I usually just use a verm layer and leave the holes open for FAE. If I really cared, I'd probably use some medical tape (micropore), or polyfill, because I have them lying around.
You should really post this in mush cult. These animals will tear up any substance you thought you had here.

I do the same for my cakes but for my grains I do not use a verm layer.

Bleach is super toxic. I know a lot of people who like mixing bleach and vinegar to clean their houses(which is incredibly stupid, don't ever do that).

I need to start doing that. Next paycheck is going towards a pressure cooker and some WBS!

Check eBay for pressure cookers or your local thrift store, best way to get on for a decent price. Grains are deff the way to go. I started with brf but before the mycelia had even colonized the first cake I bought a pressure cooker and a big bag of rye. On of my fav grains right now are whole Oates they are soooo cheap 15-20$ for a 50lb bag

Why their house might smell like a salad by the pool? Pretty sure you mean bleach and ammonia.

I do the verm layer as well but I loosely cap the jars with foil as well. I have never lost a jar.

They will both make chlorine gas.
Bleach is fine; just don't mix it with anything.
