covering holes in jars.
    #24271348 - 04/25/17 06:15 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

So i bought my mason jars and i have some micropore tape and poly fill. Thing is the jars already have 4 small holes on top cause i wanted to cover those with just micropore tape. I want to cover the 4 small holes and use one medium hole and just use polyfill for it instead of micropore. How should i go about covering them. duct tape or something?? kinda a noob here

Foil? Put  it over the whole jar, and then loosen a bit. That's what I do with my. Jars until I see strong  growth

oh i got it.

you can cover them up with masking tape. duct tape will melt in the pc. masking tape wont.

but you could just use mp tape on every hole as your filter. especially pf if you use the dry verm layer...dont even need filters.

well yeah.. like mush said micro pore tape...silicon or any other high temp adhesive.. but honestly... 8 plastic lids are $3 at wal mart. or in your case if you don't mind the metal i think there is 15 in that box, again for $3
