Really? Mine take alot of force. I would definitely cut myself very badly trying to do that. Especially taking them off.

All of the instructions I've read say to use some type of medical supply tool I don't remember what it was though.

Definitely do whatever is safest and works for you. Mine snap on pretty easily for the most part, but i have stabbed myself a coupe of times just a little.

I guess in the medical field they use needle holders/foreceps or something. They look kind of like hemostats but they don't have the grooves. Basically do the same thing. just a pair of scissor looking intruments that clamp and lock. This seems to be the recommended way to use it. I never heard of anybody using their fingers before. You really surprised me with that one.

I was wondering if anybody else is uses any other type of tool or something. The pliers I use are really heavy and big and sometimes they've bend the shit out of it.

So with my amazon “special” holders I have to use a pair of pliers to put the blade on as the fit is really snug.

But I shelled out the money for an actual swans Morton handle and the tolerances are so much better. Blades slip on and snap into place like butter. No pliers needed, just open the blade packaging down far enough to expose the key slot and pops right on just holding the blade by the packaging.

Never heard of Swanson Morton. Gonna look into it.

I'm looking on the site now and they actually have a little tool thing they sell for doing it.

What do you guys use to put on and take off the blades? Ive just been using some regular wire cutter pliers. Are there Better ways?

I’m always afraid of slicing myself, so I bought a cheap pair of locking forceps. Clamp that down on the blade for insertion or removal (peel back paper just enough to insert, clamp on blade portion).

if you are looking for actual constructive criticism, I'd say the pinning is a little lackluster in the center? Most likely a surface conditioning issue. Tubss tend to dry more at the sides and get better airflow. I've been messing around with a new design. I've got a tub right now with a couple holes melted right on top of the lid for this very reason.

Other than that great fucking job. My hat is off. If my first tub was that nice I don't know what I would have done! Congratulations and welcome to our community thank you for being here

"we're on a mission from Gaahd."
FTFY

Bubble envelopes, international stamps, non-machinable stamps, and a return address label is my international jam

Forceps or needle nose for removing old blades, but just using the sterile wrapper open on the shaft end with my fingers on the sterile package wrapped tip for snapping the blade in place is my method. I did have to do some filing to get one of the two scalpel handles to take a blade easily.

I like to put random mushroom farm addresses as the return so if something does happen and it gets “returned”, there’s still a chance it gets used lol

I use an address for any random rental property with high occupant turnover and drop the letters in a public mailbox near it. I aim for "unremarkable", no stickers or sketches on the outside. I print labels or write legibly, I don't want my letters getting any extra attention. Smooth is fast.

I like this idea. I’ve had people send me thank you prints to the return address I use. I wonder if anyone at Wrigley would even know what to do with them. Maybe they came here to learn?

One neat trick for return addresses (on letters) I've seen is to put the recipient's name and address as the return. Anonymity and redundancy!

Thanks for the reply!!! Maybe I I started the fruiting conditions too early and could have let the mycelium fluff up more in the center? - is that a thing?

Let me know how the new tub works out!

I just ordered a humidifier reader so I can have a better idea of when it's time to mist. It seems I had too much water in there and it created all of those water marks on the caps :frown:

:frown:

. I heard that they should be fine after drying though.

Now my next quest is figuring out when the proper time to harvest is!

Okay I think you might want to read the first link in my signature. We don't initiate fruiting conditions. Thats old news. we never mist on a schedule. We monitor surface conditions.

Harvest when the veils begin to break but don't let them sporulate all over.
