If you have a SAB, switch it out for micropore. Put everything in the box and leave it for 10min. Wash your hands and forearms. Use gloves sanitized with isopropyl alcohol. Sanitize the electricians tape and the lid. Work smoothly with purpose. Disturb the air in the box as little as possible. Use 2 layers of micropore.
Do more research. Make proper lids. Follow successful procedures.

I don’t follow.
Micropore tape is far inferior to synthetic filter discs, tyvek, Polyfil, as a means of gas exchange.
Don’t compromise and you’ll have better results.

The resealable pins are for injecting sorry not fae. I thought I could use Micropore for fae on jars but I’ll use synthetic disk now. How big of a hole do you recommend and what adhesive would you recommend.

Synthetic filter discs are nice but they can be expensive. Polyfil is super cheap and has become my preferred method for gas exchange on grain jars. I just drill 1/4 inch or so hole in the lid and push some Polyfil through the hole then trim it. It's so easy and cheap, I put new Polyfil each time. I've tried almost everything over the years and this has been the simplest/cheapest and very effective. I stole it from RR Let's Grow Mushrooms DVD. I still have and use synthetic filter discs...I'm just not buying anymore. I used tyvek for years and hated it, never again.

They seem to be doing fine, I'd leave them and work on new ones like others have said. But the one on the right looks a little moldy on top. Also, I can't quite figure out that sab in the pic. But don't attach gloves if that's what you're thinking about.

Thank you let time I’m going to do polyfil I want to make a few with the disk since I just bought them also can you guys help me with 1 thing. When I transfer these grains into a monotub to colonize (vermiculite + coco) how much fae should they have I read multiple people saying to put 2 strips of micropore then take off a layer when you see pins? But then I’m seeing post about no fae but it seems like this is during misting I’m totally confused on the fae needed once transferred into monotub.

Thank you. The box pretty much has 2 hand holes that I cover with a with another piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil on top there is a hole for lighting covered with plastic wrap. A hole for seeing on top covered in plastic wrap and a whole on the side with blue tape sticking on duck tape that can open and close pretty easily to put stuff in and out. It’s not perfect by far but since I’m a painter I have a ton of tape so it only really cost me the cost of a moving box plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

It’s airtight and the inside is all covered in aluminum foil for disinfecting. I will probably make a better more permanent SAB in a few weeks. Do you have any recommendation on fae once transferring WBS to monotub. I’m confused on FAE of a mono tub during colonization I don’t have polyfil but have micropore.
