Mushr00mSurprise said: I wanted to thank everyone for the response. I did go syringe to grain jar because I wanted to use up the syringe after inoculating my agar plates. The Polyfil looks just ugly but only seeing 1 jar out of ten go bad I guess is good for syringe. I want to try SFD but cant seem to find a good source for them. Also I cannot find a good source for case of plates. Anyone know where I can find SFD's and bulk plates based on a good experience?
If you want them quick, can get them on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HB74HXL/
If you want them cheap, you can order 100x 90mm SFDs from China with free shipping for $17: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000152295944.html
Have you tried out the China ones? Someone posted recently about receiving some that were paper thin. I'm looking for a good cheap source for some but I want some that will last me a while I've had the same ones for atleast 6 years now that are still going strong. I need some more like that.

Most of the China ones *are* made of paper. Those ones I linked are glass fiber (fiberglass, which is what you want). I got some that were good, but I'm always wary of stuff coming from China. Maybe ask the seller the thickness and everything so you can ensure it's what you want. The ones I got are about 1/10" thick.

That's ok I was just wondering if you had tried them. The cellulose ones suck have a bunch of those too. They definitely aren't thin though. They also aren't synthetic. Atleast not as far as I'm concerned. They're paper.

I really feel like a fiberglass sfd isn't the right kind for our use. Fiberglass is some nasty stuff I use it to build subwoofer enclosures and custom interior pieces I wouldn't take that shit anywhere near a grow. Weaved or not. Can anyone confirm that this is what our sfds are made of I recall them being made of pfte or ptfe or some shit.

Geez - I've been rolling with micropore on my lids for my past 100 jars at least.
I'm a bit out of the loop - but didn't know they were so hated! hehe.
The more you know!
(I literally fly with a quarter inch hole and two new strips of micropore on every jar... never any big issues --- wondering if it's one of those things that adds to that bad jar here and there....) ?

Everything gets wet in a pressure cooker. I don't use foil over the lids of any kind of grain jar including polyfil. I stopped that like 2-3 years ago. The foil is pointless
Would it be safe to assume foil is not needed when PCing agar as well?
