So… I’ve got micropore tape.. but was under the impression that the holes were too big and multiple layer are required, but ultimately GE is restricted and the outcome is less than ideal.

Cap, or no?

While we're on the subject I just made a bunch of Lids last night but id like some opinions plz. I did them three different ways.


They all started with me putting a bead of clear RTV on the perimeter of the filter itself.



And then pressing it down over the hole.

But that's where I stop it super nice and neat and not a big mess at all.





But I don't know if this is going to be efficient enough or not?

The other ones have an extra bead of RTV globbed around the rest of the edge of the filter and even over onto the top surface.like this






The last ones are exactly the same as those except instead of a big glob bead I used a wet paper towel to press it down a little bit and smooth it out and seal all edges better make it look neater. Has the most coverage





I guess the only ones I'm really wondering about are the first ones that are just nice  and neat  and have minimal rtv. Because if those are sufficient then it's much less tedious to do.  Aslo No point in Overkill and wasting if not necessary

It works, polyfill works, no mod works, flipped lid works, filter stickers work.

Everything works to a point, I've done each one of these and I still want the real deal SFDs.

Where did you source your SFD?

The real sfds I'm using now?

I don't remember who but somebody recently recommended the website and them to me they come in multiple different pre cut  sizes.

  so you don't have to worry about any of the woven fibers ripping or tearing apart and losing integrity.

Got them from.


.com




I don't know if these guys are vendors or not but if I just broke a rule by posting their name and where I got their product from let me know and I'll remove it.

This is how I do it. Universal setup for both solid and liquid material.

THe upside down lid is just for reference. Lid (rubber down), SFD, ring. The mp tape just keeps grain and debris from coming up through the hole under the SFD.
