Can I use the lid of a Sterilite container instead of aluminum foil? [Urgent]

I just spawned my cakes to bulk. I have followed everything I was supposed to, but some how I don't have any aluminum foil to cover the Sterilite container to let it fully colonize. I'm wondering if instead of using aluminum foil like I'm supposed to, if I can use the lid the Sterilite container came with, and make holes in the 4 corners and put micropore tape on them.
This is kind of urgent

Just put the lid on it, there's plenty of room for GE, no need to worry about foil or tape.

I ended up running out to Walmart at 2am just to be safe. Now that I have it would it be worth putting it on or not even?

I prefer the lid of the plastic container I'm using for a tray or tub to any other cover.

Is there a reasoning behind your opinion or just convenience?

Convenience is a reason, but another would be that foil is terrible for the environment, it's expensive, and there's no major benefit to using foil cut off the amount of GE that the lid will provide on its own anyway.

Convenience, cost and GE. It's all-around a better option. Save the foil for blacking out your windows to let your neighbors know you're a classy dude.

Where did you read you were supposed to do that? I've never seen it in teks so far. Maybe you got it from an old tek or something.

Using foil with ge holes is not old.

Not for jars it isn't, but I know I've yet to come across a tub covered with foil.

People have been using foil for colonizing 'casing trays' (or whatever you choose to call them) for quite some time. I don't personally, but just know that it most certainly isn't a new technique.

When I say it's not old, I mean it's not outdated. And no, I don't think anyone would cover a tub with it. Trays, yes. Tubs, no.

foil can be used if you don't have a lid.
The lid for most plastic tubs or trays aren't a perfect fit, so it allows for enough GE without having to poke holes even if you stack them.

I use plastic to cover my trays, seems like a more logical choice.
Something like that can never be "outdated", I was just saying I've never seen it in any tek. It ain't like keeping jars in the dark or some useless crap.
