It will most likely be sold as 3m nexcare gentle paper tape. Flip it over and it will say: hospital name: 3m micropore surgical tape.

If I didn't already have a ton of poly (and no micropore), I would definitely try this for my big Reishi grow.
Cool stuff.

Be careful using either micropore or poly with reishi. They will literally grow through the poly or tape and become one with it heading to the FAE. Leave the bottom holes taped is my recommendation.

Can't wait to try this for my first WBS tub currently colonizing. It'll be ready in a day or three for fruiting. I'm not the best with the poly. This seems very straight forward. Will post pics along the way. Pasty, unfortunately what I use to make my holes with is a tomato paste can. Heat and burn smooth holes. It's 2.25 inches in diameter. What quantity of tape should I personally use?
Thanks again.

For a 2.25" hole I'm gonna say 3 layers for the bottoms. Maybe 1 layer might be okay for the top or perhaps 1 layer and then a second layer that only covers half the hole. Hard to say. Those a significantly bigger than what I use myself and have tested so it's going to be up to you to test and find what works best. Please share your findings here.

Mannnnnn Pasty always comes up with the best solutions for home cultivation!
Learning to dial in polyfill took me a while.. "tight" is a subjective term so as a new cultivator that was tricky for me in the begging.
Im good at dialing in my tubs now, but I think this micro pore will provide more consistency.
I dont really reuse my polyfill so it gets expensive. And I know this is dumb, but I like my work to look nice and neat, and at firSt glance my tubs will look a lot less suspicious than with balls of polyfill sticking out.
.I think my holes are closer to 1.5, maybe 2" , Ill measure in the AM.

nice! another easy tek. Thankyou PW. This is the future of monos.
I hate polyfill because the shroomies tend to grow into it/through it, so I switched to tyvek on the bottom holes. Now it will be micropore tape bottom and top.

Pasty would this be an easy to try for your first mini? I have a mini with 1 1/4in holes, and have been kinda tripping on the poly....I'm thinking it would be good for me to learn with the micropore and say fuck the poly all together.....my tub is about 95% colonized and will be going into fruiting in the next couple days.....on a side note I want to thank you for telling me to make the wbs work for me...figured out my problem now I have a bunch of atl jars and a couple more projects in planning

4 holes total one on each long side near substrate level and two up. High near the handles? Correct

Also how high from the bottom of the tub. Ik it depends on how much substrate and casing layer. But could u give me an idea how high to make the hole on the long sides. Please and thx
