People have used tyvek for 20+ years reliably maybe you're experiencing operator error?

This is from older post but found this



If the tyvek or other filter is on the top(outside) of the metal lid, it won't get wet when you shake. Drill four holes in the metal lid that are syringe needle size, but no larger. These will allow gas exchange, but are small enough that the grains don't hit the filter material when you shake. This keeps your filter clean and dry. If you puncture the tyvek with a needle, tape over the hole.

SFD are preferred for convenience but tyvek will work just fine. Definitely keep it above the lid that has a few 1mm holes in it like a SFD, screw it into the threads, call it good. :thumbup:
