I have no masking tape
    #5609565 - 05/09/06 05:17 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I am ready to inoculate my jars but I have no heavy-duty masking tape to cover the holes on the jars. Is there anything else that I can use to efficiently cover them or should I make the trip to the store and buy it?

skip the tape and just replace the foil lid that should already be on them when they come out of your pot/pc... problem solved :smile:

Buy some of those little circle band aids. They allow a little airflow plus they make your jars look pro.

Steam penetration could mess up the moisture content of the substrate.


Do you have any electrical tape, thats what I use. Some people claim to have problems using electrical tape but the stuff I use works fine.

pros (well, at least "pf pros" haha) don't bother taping their jars, or if they do they end up removing it after only a few days because they know gas exchange is essential for colonization.  they understand that the dry verm layer is in the top of their jar keeping things safe, regardless what you want to throw over the holes.  they also like to save money and not buy expensive unnecessary things like a box of bandaids.  good idea in theory, but pointless and wasteful in practice  :naughty:

this is why we wrap jar tops in foil. when it comes time to inoculate, lift the foil, shoot 'er up, and replace. done!

Foil works and I'll stand behind that, I've never used tape of any kind BTW with PFTek and never had any problems. Just make sure to seal it tight for PCing then after that it can be left much looser and gives you an area to write strain, innoc. date as well as any other pertinate info, using foil also helps jar maintain their original moisture content. From experience I highly recommend foil/no tape when doing the PFTek.

Well...normally I wouldn't even say anything, but after reading a few of your posts today, I think I will.

The point of the foil is not to be steam proof (which you'd know if you ever actually read what you look at). Rather, the purpose of the foil is to keep any water from dripping into your jar from the lid of the PC....DUH.

I know what the point of the foil is.

And I know what the purpose of the tape is.



If enough steam gets into the jar the verm could absorb it and cause the substrate to be overly wet.

But like i said i dont really care what anyone does with some pf jars.
