Tyvek Tape?
#3920636 - 03/15/05 10:56 AM (18 years, 11 months ago) |

I was wondering if anyone has used ?Tyvek Tape? before? I picked up some for $10 at my local Home Depot (the cheapest regular roll of Tyvek was $55), and I was wondering if it will work the same? It is 2? wide, and 164? long. I did not PC it because I was not sure how the glue (it is tape) would hold up to 250deg. Has anyone done this. I used two unbleached coffee filters, ball lid, another unbleached coffee filter, and finally the outer ring. Then I PC?d, let it cool, Inoc?d then topped with the Tape. Will this be ok?

I'd like to hear it too! Seems interesting. Agar has some filter patches inthe works that will stick and withstand multiple PCs, something that I dont think exists at this point. Once bulk production gets going a sponsors is supposed to offer it..keep an eye open for them..
In the meantime, I dont know specifically if it will work, but It should and you should try it! You should also attempt PCing it, just to see if it does hold up well. Make sure it holds well too, you dont want it falling off in a week when your almost colonized because you shoke to hard and didnt hold the filter.
Hmm another problem I just saw, with your method...when cooling you only had coffee filters on the jars...contams can be sucked through coffee filters, they would be suseptable at this time.

Ah! Good point! Maybe thats what the stuff is for...Hmm...I dont know then...Well....can you tear it with your hand or teeth like most tape? If so then it probably wont work since it isnt tyvek...it would need to be actually made of tyvek and not made for joining tyvek.

This makes me wonder about using the sticky flap of the tyvek envelopes. I've always thrown them away, but if you could just cut a 1/2" x 1/2" section and stick it on, that'd be cool... hmmmm.... I got some jars I'm gonna PC in the next couple days, I'll try it out on a couple...

Hmmmm.... I'm also thinking that the glue could possibly help with sealing the injection site.... I'll definately try in on a couple, and keep everyone posted...

I have used Tyvek tape(from Home Depot) for a long time and it has worked for me.
It also stands up to MULTIPLE pc'ing, in fact I have not changed my tyvok tape for 6 batches.
It is, in fact, made from tyvek(by Dupont).

Well as far as ?normal use? for Tyvek tape, I?m pretty sure its used to tape to big sheets of Tyvek together, but I would think it is still breathable. The tape itself is similar to Boxing tape; it is shiny and translucent, with a white color. It is also the same type of ?stickiness? as Boxing tape (the tape used to make corrugated boxes). It appears to have a grain (similar to wood), but does not tear with it (I mean you can?t tear it down the middle, like duct tape). This is why I think it is breathable, but I cannot blow/suck air though.
I would be happy to experiment with it and a Pressure Cooker. But where should I put the tape? Should I still use coffee filters? What about the Ball lid, should the tape be under/over/replace the lid?
Thanks for any help!

I put it over the lid, with an inoc hole and a breather hole in the lid itself.

how do you guys seal the tyvek when you inject through it?
-------------------- And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk ...four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire.

Instead of a band-aid could I just use more Tyvek tape?

Yes...if your trying it in the PC...stick it right to the metal lid over the hole. You should have the two peices of the lid, the tyvek and thats it.

You can use tyvek, just a bigger pain to remove, unless you just keep layering tyvek over old inoc hole, heh.
