Oh shit, awesome tek! This got me way too excited. I look forward to trying this out! Polyfil is really too inconsistent and unrepeatable.
Btw, why don't you do this with 2" micropore tape? You could cover the whole hole without having to do the overlapping strips.

Good question. 2" tape is simply too big for the other things I use it for. But you could use 2" tape if you wanted to.

That's awesome! What's a good thread that shows what a perfectly dialed in "set it and forget it" monotub (no fanning/misting daily) should behave like? (Moisture on the walls? Moisture only on the bottom half of the walls? etc)

I remember you saying you were going to write this tek about a month ago, but for some reason I thought I remembered you you also saying that it didnt involve multiple layers of micropore? Anyway nice tek Have you tested the performance next to a tub with polyfil yet?

Also, if any of you have cats, you should know why moving away from poly is a GOOD idea.
= after I get home from work and EVERY poly hole has been plucked from all monos. Poly all over house.

IIRC I said it didn't require cutting or poking holes in the tape. Layers has always been part of this.
I have run this next to poly holes. If you refer to this log closely you will see that 2 of the tubs use poly and two use micropore. They all come very close in performance. Actually I believe the micropore ones did slightly better but not enough to be significant.

So I guess then two layers on the bottom holes, one layer on the top holes would suffice? Or?
I understand it's not rocket science, just would like to know what's working for others on monos in general before throwing an entire mono at this technique.

I'll throw 10 monos at a technique if Pasty says it works.

If somebody could answer my original question that has experience with the method, I'd personally feel more comfortable doing it. What's working in regard to layering?

It's said in the OP, two layers for the bottom and one layer for the top. If you need to dial it in even more, you can move the tape around on whatever holes you want.
Great write up!! I can't wait to get away from poly fill, my first bag is running low, looks like I'll be looking into a couple rolls of micro pore.

my first grain jars I ever did had polyfil gas exchange. a day after inoculation I come and inspect my jars that have a nice 1/4 open hole.

Everyday I come home there is something torn to shreds by these cats. I mean I love cats and all, but these guys are bastards. I have to move anything involving poly into a locked room where they can never get to it because they will steal all of it and play with it all over the house.
Little fuckin turds.
That's pretty much the only reason I want to move to micropore. They can have the damn poly if I use this method.

You shouldn't let them play with polyfill... they eat that shit over time and it just hangs out in their stomach..
All my shit goes on behind a closed door in a cat-free room. I only had poly stolen a few times, sounds like you guys have some hellions running around.

yep, cat free room is the solution for me too. one of the two begs to go outside every day. gone for 2-4 hours comes back with birds or rodents. only one squirrel ever but it was a fucking mess it's head was scalped and barely attached.

Are you kidding? I hope they choke on that poly.
Kidding. But seriously, it's annoying. Yes.
