What is "imperfect lid"?
    #26941071 - 09/17/20 05:17 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I'm reading Spitball's monotub tek and says that GE will be provided by the imperfect lid. So leave the holes taped during colonization.
I use same Sterilite tubs that Bod is using for his Unmodified tub tek. Those lids have a blue gasket, which seems to seal lids in pretty well. I don't know if airtight or not though.

Imperfect lid = not airtight.

Fill it with water, turn it upside down, and watch for bubbles (or water all over yourself and floor) and you'll know if it's airtight.

Thanks! Didn't think about the water test. So as long as it leaks even I little bit - I have enough GE?

I'd imagine so.  There's a lot of air in there to begin with.  You could crack the lid at some point if you were having any issues.

Cool. I'm battling some gnats right now, so wanted to keep it closed.

What issues could I encounter when there is no GE?

With the amount of air in there to begin with, I doubt any.  But if it was totally out of air it might stall during colonization.

I've used tubs with lids like that before. Still fruited fine, just had some fuzzy feet on the mushies. I prefer plastic shoeboxes as they are made to have some airflow for stinky shoes, you will be fine though.
