Tyvek lid?
    #26719477 - 06/04/20 03:46 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I'm going to be using Tyvek for my lids. I am planning on drilling a 1/4" hole in the lid, and then placing a whole piece of Tyvek to cover the top and the put the ring on. Do I put the lid on normally with rubber side seal down, or do I need to turn it upside down with rubber side seal up? Or does it make any difference?

Put the lid on as you normally would, but it probably wont matter if it's screwed down tight.

Right but one rubber side down creates a seal, and rubber side up doesn't. I'm going to be inoculating with agar, so I'm going to have to open it up, I was seeing if it really makes any difference?

No it won't matter.

It will just be a little more difficult to lift off with the rubber side down.  No seal should be created though since you have a 1/4" hole for the jar to breathe.  In my experience, it doesn't make much of a difference which way you put the lid.
