How to prep grain jar lids?

Hello all. Long time PF tek grower (well about a year) got a PC and am looking to do grains. I've seen some jars that use polyfil, some that use tyvek?
I have a hazmat suit a routinely get in for my PF tek inoculations along with a respirator. The hazmat suit is tyvek brand, and it's the yellow suit. Can I cut this up? I'd prefer not to if I can use polyfil. Anyone have a tek link to making the jars? I also do not have a drill. Have quite a few different sized nails though
Also I've tried searching. All the teks pretty much don't show how to make the actual jars

I searched "grain jar prep"
Now I've added "grain jar lid prep" and am seeing stuff. Who'd have thought.
I don't have a drill. I have a 7/32 bit I could hammer to make holes.... Damn. Got so excited about buying a PC but looks like I've got a way to go...

Here's how I do mine with a SFD (synthetic filter disc) and a self healing injection site made with instant extreme temperature gasket. Just as good as RTV silicone.

Where does one buy these synthetic filter discs? And that silicone comes from like an auto store right ?

When I started out I was pretty religious about using proper SFDs but since then I've found that polyfill works just as well. SFDS are very expensive and a pain to order. Polyfill is much cheaper and easier to find, though it might not last as long.
Tyvek is shit and a pain to work with. Save your paint suit for painting, or cut the sleeves off and wear them when inoculating for some bonus points against contams.

U can get silicone at any DIY store. Makes sure it's heat resistant. Not sure if just silicone sealant stands up to PCing. i had a hard time getting SFDs where I am (UK) Had to get them shipped from states in the end. Tyvek is awful. First time starting grains myself, like a month ago. You will understand if you ever use the stuff. I'm sure you can get everything from any of the sponsors or at a push fleabay...

So you do silicone for injection port and polyfil for gas exchange? That seems easier. Won't the poly get soaked in the PC? Guess it'd dry regardless.

Don't even make an injection port if you want to do grains correctly. The silicone is to adhere a filter disc to the lid.
If you're going to be using a syringe you should just stick with cakes. I just can't recommend putting spores syringes to grain, especially through a SHIP. If you had to use one it'd still be better to just open the lid in the SAB, which you should be using anyway.
I guess you can use polyfill as a filter, plenty do, but I wouldn't. It's way too easy to get the materials that are actually made for the job. I'd sooner fuck with unmodded lids before poly.

the last jars i did were with this. Where is says "plastic jars v2". really simple and easy. and it saves SFDs, which I agree are not hard to get at all. nor are they all that expensive, especially when you do the cut outs.

The only way to get those are through ordering? Not available at Walmart huh...
Guess I'll try polyfil and a silicone injection port. Man I was so excited about the PC because I can do grains now but you guys are busting my balls lol

Ordering online is even easier than wal mart.... you don't have to leave the house, just sit in your favorite chair and order it.

They are a pain to sit around and wait for. Especially when dumb ass vendors screw up your order. Not to mention every site I can think of overcharges for shipping.
I'm going to start using ezfelt as my filter choice once I get some money and switch to plastic lids.

Well I've used tyvek, and EZ felt, and I only use SFDs now. I wonder what would drive a person to do such a thing... 
Maybe I just like a filter I can't literally see through.
