uhhhhh what is your question.
do buy spore tape. if you only have masking tape leave it off beucase you need gas exchange on those jars or they will stall.

CHILL OUT, not a biggie. Go get some micropore and put it on, or don't. If you have a layer of dry verm, you're okay. If you're using grain, you should have tyvek and coffee filters, so not the issue. Micropore is not necessarily needed. If you are really worried, put each jar into it's own ziploc bad and nothing will spread.
Breath in... Breath out... no need to YELL

You're going to need something over the holes you created when you injected the spores lest contaminants get into the jars. It's really that simple.
If you're truly hard-up for something to use, consider tyvek. You can get free envelopes made of the stuff from your local US postal office.

i disagree no need to cover holes on PF tek thats The Whole Reason For The Verm!! on grain absolutely you dont stand a chance if you dont cover the holes, PF tek better to leave uncovered

Here is your damn answer.
Do not use micropore tape with the pf tek style jars. This is why you have the dry vermiculite layer. Period, no matter what anyone else says this is the correct answer.

Chris,
what kind of jars are you using?
if you shook the jars...I'm thinking that it wasn't pf(brf/verm) jars.
let us know...it makes a difference.

If you are using grain than yes, use micropore tape because you have no layer of dry verm to filter contams and allow gas exchange. For grain: tyvek lid with 2 1/4 inch holes in it ring 2 coffee filters held on with a rubber band have miropore soaking in alcohol for inoculation place tape over inoculation spot after inoculation adhesive will active on tape when alcohol dries.
smoke one or something and chill a bit please

do not shake a pf jar, EVER
shake grain jars upon removal from pc, right after inoculation, 25% into colonization, 75% into colonization

Oh, we're talking PF? Hell, I didn't see that. Sorry.
I don't know jack about PF so I've got nothing useful to add.

i second that. tape does little other than slowing colonization and easing your mind. if you're concerned throw a loose fitting foil lid over the top. toss them jars in an incubator and relax a few weeks. no need to keep posting about every little detail that's already been discussed ad infinitum every 30 seconds through your process! i realize its just 'coz you dont want to screw up but have a little faith... its gonna be alright.

Now what you do is see if the layer of verm on top is still in tact.
If it is, you are fine, if everything is all jumbled up than you take each jar and put it into it's own ziploc bag to isolate them from one another and hope for the best.
Incubate as normal and it should be okay.
