This. Though I used post office tyvek for years and never caused any issues.
Nowadays I use sfd. Leave them whole (buy the right size for your jar opening) and put them underneath the lid.

There's also this ultra simple choice, too.

Looked at that but already have 36 ball jars and we cant buy those lids in uk. I also saw RR say thats not a good idea on another thread. Cant remember which thread.

I've found if you're using an inoculant that colonizes really fast, GE's not that important.  The slower the colonizing process, the more it tends to matter.  I truly question how much GE even happens when you put 2-3 layers of micropore tape with Tyvek on there anyway.  Can't imagine it's much.

Its more about him saying leaving the lid unscrewed is no different to taking it off as contaminates are microscopic.
also I love how mushie rage runs for the hills when RR cuts his suggestion down :rofl: I love mushierage

Mushboy question : Why even use Tyvek if you're gonna use MP tape? MP tape is designed to bandage up wounds and keep out bacteria and prevent infections so shouldn't MP tape just suffice on it's own as a lid filter? Is the concern that the grain will dry out? If so why not just use 3 or more pieces?

i need something to attach the square to the jar.

oops misread:

i could just use the tape but the debate around it led me to also use the tyvek square.
i cut out like 300 1cm x 1cm-ish sqaures so im still using them up.

Ahh I see. well I'm gonna give the MP on it's own a shot. I tried looking around here north of the border for Tyvek and it seems like you can only buy it in too large of quantities(Giant rolls) and I don't think our priority post envelopes up here use Tyvek(At least don't appear to be Tyvek to me).

Looked at home depot for Tyvek coveralls and didn't find anything only coveralls made of some another material. SFD's might be an option in the future but they are expensive and right now money is tight( Looking for work) so I'm gonna stick with the MP and report how my jars panned out.

Also will note I've used MP tape to secure the saran wrap around the edge of one of my agar transfer plates as the saran after being wrapped just didn't wanna stay in place. Will keep a close eye on that plate for contams.

Yikes 300 x 1cm2 pieces!! Must have taken you a while

I'm using unmodified lids right now and it's sketching me out a bit I have to say. I have all my jars in my SAB at least, and I screw the lids back on when I go to use it. I was using layers of micropore before but again had them colonizing in my SAB.

Your best cheap option would probably be tyvek secured with micropore I think, but for the piece of mind SFDs offer they are priceless.

Can you not import plastic lids for mason jars?
