Help with lids

Donโt got any silicone, I use half pints for agar, put one hole in the middle and cover with 2 layers of microporous. Can I use the same lid for grain jars if Iโm going MS-> grain?

They both work. Whatever you want to do. I have used MP tape, injected through it, then put another layer on. All in the SAB.

You can slap a piece of postal tyvek over 2 layers of mp tape. Seems to be working ok.

You can buy tyvek suits from hardware stores and use pieces of that cut up for a lifetime.
Seems staples has free fedex envelopes. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14048721#14048721

I like sfds or MP tape over tyvek. Even better yet is unmodded plastic lids.

I don't like micropore for grain jars. People use it and it works, but I don't trust it
I would use polyfill, its really reliable

Iโve been using unmodded plastic lids for everything for months with no trouble at all. Itโs so much easier. No tape, no poly, no foil to screw around with. I suppose this is probably only appropriate for cleaner atmospheres however and still doesnโt offer as much protection as a filtered lid, but I really like to keep my shit as simple as possible.

In my first agar to grain adventure, I'm using unmodified metal lids since I had a bunch of jars sitting around waiting for something (now I know what). I was worried, since my home is not "spotless." However, it's day 4, and all three are between 20 and 50% colonized already. Did a shake on two of them today.
I just had the lids slightly loose in the PC, and covered the upper part in foil. Of course I need to tighten them down for a good shake, but I'm loosening them again after. We'll see how it goes in the next couple of days.
I guess I just feel that it is less wasteful for me to leave them unmodified at this point, and it seems that people have found faster colonization with this method.
