How much micro tape equals 'tight poly'?

Hey all. Whats up? Top of the afternoon.
So I believe I have found the best hole configuration, for my situation, on my mono tub(s).
A hole at sub level on each long side filled tight with poly. And a hole on each short side with loose poly at the top.
So, what I'd like to know; is how many layers of microtape would it take to replace the bottom, tight, poly holes? I don't like poly at the sub level and would like replace those holes with microtape. This is the thread I used to get where I'm at. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17332777
Thanks!

I usually use 2 layers of tape on the bottom and a single layer on top.
I have 2" wide MP tape but if I'm using the 1" and need to use 2 pieces side by side to cover the hole for each layer, I try not to let them overlap.
If you need to restrict FAE even more, you can add additional layers of tape in incriments, with the 3rd layer covering the hole 1/4", 1/2", etc But I find 2 layers on the bottom is usually perfect.
I really like using the MP tape, its consistent. I can never stuff the poly in each hole at a consistent tightness, I suck at it

Do you put 1 layer on the inside and one on the outside? Or both outside? Does MP only breathe 1-way?

Stuff holes tightly during spawn run and reduce 50-75% during fruiting.

All layers go on the outside.

I've been using micropore tape instead of polyfill on my tubs for months now (much thanks to pastywyte for the tek!).
Tight Poly, 2 layers of micropore tape, "loose" poly, 1 layer of micropore tape.
I have 2 layers on the lower holes and 1 layer on the upper holes. If I want to increase FAE after the pinset has come in, I remove one of the two layers off the bottom holes. I also sometimes lower the tape a little on the top holes (leaving it partially uncovered) if I really think it needs more fresh air, altho this is hardly ever necessary.
