Questions about lids
    #25164740 - 04/25/18 03:13 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hello. For a while I was lids I made with that stuffing you see in toys. This last batch I did all got contaminated and it started right beneath the plug. I totally truav the vendor too so I think it was my lids. I ordered some of those lids with the self healing injection ports and the valves for air flow. I noticed that one the valve for air flow was loose. The injection ports and air flow weren't secured with glue or sealant.

What should I use to better seal these up? I really don't want to lose more to conyamination and I worry these aren't sealed enough. I want to seal with something that can withstand being used in a pressure cooker.

Also these lids with the ports seem like you could make them yourself. What size drill bits are recommended for the holes

Using silicone works great. Some people use the stuff that's used in construction but more commonly people use gasket maker found in the auto section. I like the blue stuff but red, clear, black etc will all work.

It does not need to be labeled "high temperature"
