WalMart has it. Just a differing brand name NEXCARE

Read the fine print, to insure you are getting MICROPORE TAPE.

I buy mine off eBay, by the 12 roll box.

Hey Agar (or others),

Will the transpore nexcare work in your opinion? It says flexible clear where yours says gentle paper. I pressure cooked it the tape gets a bit distorted/melted so I covered em all with another strip.

NO, I say again......NO.

Transpore tape distorts when you PC it.
The pore size enlarges GREATLY.
(thats a BAD THING)

ive got that medical tape on all my jars, but im out of tape so heres my personal way of making a filter:

take two coffee filters, a small pice of polyfil, and ur jar\lid.
lay one filter down and add a layer of flatish polyfil on it covering and area slightly larger than the opening of the jar. then put the other filter on top of that and wa-la, a filter. now put it on ur jar and seal it up.

Just another post backing the use of 3M paper tape (micro-pore tape). $1.77 at Wal-Mart for 8 yds. Just poke your hole(s), flatten out sharp edges with a hammer, and add a layer of tape on each side of your lid. Toilet-flush simple, fast, and inexpensive. Vote Agar for president. :wink:
