I thought the paper towels were for condensation and not getting the MP tape wet?

So you're saying you don't use the paper towel and your tape never gets wet?
I might skip the towel portion of the tek if that's the case!

Noted.
My paper towels weren't wet in the slightest... A little bit of condensation around the edge of the foil but nothing underneath.
Almost like a grain jar.

How much water are you using in your pressure cooker? If you put in too little there won't be enough thermal mass and the cooker will cool off too quickly. I imploded a bunch of pasty plates that way.

You can't crush something in a vacuum if that thing doesn't form a seal. It's just not possible.

And the verdict is......
My tape!
This time around the 3 PP5s with double tape over the GE hole all sucked into themselves. The two plates with one layer of tape were perfectly fine. It seems like the double layer of Durabond 3m tape does not allow enough exchange for the PP5 container to stay non-'Pasty Imploded' in my PC. I believe this could be negated by bringing up the pressure extremely slowly, but I would rather just continue on with my present solution - which is to only use one layer of tape.
This could have been coincidental, but that is unlikely. I will be creating another 16 plates later on tonight and I will report back if any other plates 'Pasty Implode'.
Inocuole, what do you think about the above? Have your plates ever deformed at all while PCing?...even in the slightest?

i recently posted about how LITTLE water i use. i took these plates out after a few hours.

Trusted Cultivator mentioned thermal mass of the water in a post but im curious about the thermal mass of my burning to the touch pc that is 10 lbs ??
correct me if im wrong ..... ....

Not even a little. If all the ones with double tape fucked up, and all the ones with single tape didn't, that's pretty cut and dry.

Uh.. I'm thinking you can use however much water you can get away with, it's not a problem that will have any effect on a properly constructed container.

yah its the tape..
i just realized the last batch of plates i made i used a tiny square of tyvek and taped around the edges leaving the tyvek exposed above the hole w/out tape covering it directly... if that makes sense. simply because i was bored.
but they didnt melt

no ...pp5 plastics can be reused. look for pp5.. i recently found out the container my won-ton soup comes in can be used.
pp5 is also healthier compared to most plastics.. google around. interesting reading

Yeah but he's asking about petris. This is longer than a thread jack should go on for... Plastic petris are one time use only, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Ya the problem is the plates will fall over so if you don't catch them still warm you have a glob on one side but besides that works fine
