Yea, that's part of my gripe with it. That and the fact that they mentioned it cannot be sterilized in a PC. I've had bad luck with everything requiring sterility so I'm going to err on the side of caution with this one and ban micropore tape from my grows.

It's an ongoing debate which i believe centers around the company saying that it cannot to avoid law suits. We all know that it can and that it works well enough. But, i use SFD and will never go back to MP

yah but who puts sfds on minirounds. 2 layers of 3m tape worked wonderfully for me for awhile.

i use shitty postal tyvek squares held on with a layer or two of mp tape for lots of my lids and they all work just as well as poly(or unmodded for that matter)

Well, perhaps I will experiment again with micropore tape just for the sake of experimenting. As verum said, 3m might just be trying to cover their ass to avoid law suites:

Question:
Is Micropore tape sterile? Can it be sterilized?
Answer:
3M Surgical tapes are sold clean, not sterile. Micropore tapes may be sterilized by ethylene oxide but NOT by steam (autoclave). Although 3M provides sterilization guidelines, it is up to the facility to ensure sterility. Sterrad™ processing with hydrogen peroxide is not recommended for Micropore tape because the rayon fibers in the tape will inactivate the hydrogen peroxide.

I'm not sure if it's just the brand of coloring I bought or what, but it seem that mycelium loves it and actually eats it right out of the agar? I may be way off but what are your thoughts?

So between my stove not being level and my tray inside of my PC not being level, my plates are off and the agar is slanted...
Should I pull them out while still hot and let em cool on a level surface or is it not a big deal? Also how deep should the agar be? I found this recipe only made enough for a very thin layer of aughgar so I doubled it, hope that's ok?
I'm assuming the medium shouldn't be translucent, correct?

I don’t like MP tape.. If people use twist off lids they don’t have to modify the container at all.. it’s the way to go
