@Nancy thx for the tip on fuzzy and smooth. The filters I have are bigger than my lid and won't fit unless I cut them. There's no meaningful reason why I don't want to modify the lids since they get nasty and rusty anyway. To me, an unmodified lid is more multipurpose than a modified one even if I never use these for anything else.

@trypt under the lid, like between the lid and the jar? Does it get nasty in contact with grains, myc, contam?

Yes between the lid and jar. Theres a smooth side and a fuzzy side. Smooth side down. Sfds usually come in the size of jar lids. I have a bunch of regular mouth and a bunch of wide mouth. They are just bigger than the jar lid but will fold over the edges of the jar. Then they suction together in the pc and the filter vaccume forms to the lid and ring holding it all together (if you work slow)

Stipe started a thread about pasteurizing spores, and there was some experimentation in there with positive germinations.

But that's different than a PC cycle.
