I used it before, no different results, i am trying a new way right now that requires 1 hr of soak and no simmering. Waiting for my PC to heat up as we speak.
tyvek is free, so get some

its just less soaking rinsing, simmering, rinsing, and all that stuff you have to get the bird kote off of penningtons there are several makers that dont use any oils when making their feed.

Punch a small hole in your lid. Put a small bead of RTV/silicone on each side. Let dry. Viola, a self-healing injection site that can easily be wiped with alcohol to sterilize the injection point.

I inject through the first layer of tape, then simply put another piece over it at right angles. So I have an "x" on the top. That way I know which jars I've innoced and which I haven't yet.

it is recomended that you drain all water out of the jars, I just got my jars out of the PC and they are all clumped together when i try to shake my WBS... I guess i will wait till they cool down and try to shake some more... I will knock up the 4 but i don't think i will do it again.... I am sticking to Doc's tek.....

its impossible to drain all water out of jars unless you get a paper towel and dry the wbs off..i drained as good as it gets and water still accumulates..but after pcing it should evaporate..my last wbs batch came out clumpy...but i dunno why so i just shook it as soon as it came out of pc and it was fine

to loosen the clumps take an old shoe and put the sole perpindicular to the ground and slam the side of the jar against it, works like a charm. Best when done HOT

For my lids what worked really well was:
I put 2 holes in it, and covered one with silicon. then i covered the other with micropore tape. Self healing injection site and air exchange, 0 contams out of 16 jars.
I also put a small amount of dry verm in each jar to absorb any extra moisture. worked great

I've bought that stuff from wallywolrd before. I remember because the checkout lady asked my what kind of bird I had. Saying your picking it up for someone else always works to shut them up.

3 shakes
1 right out the PCer
2 after you knock it up
3 after the jar is 30- 40% colinised
any additional shaking will result in delayed growth
