Does anyone have experience with this stuff:

I bought some and am thinking of putting over a coffee filter then skrewing the outer lid on the jar. Is this the way I should be doing this? Thanks for any help.

Parafilm is used primarily to seal petri dishes after they have been inoculated. I don't quite understand the process you are describing, but it doesn't sound like a good idea.

No you would want to drill a quarter inch hole in your metal lid and tape over it with that stuff for gas exchange.

Parafilm is for petri dishes and test tubes. Use tyvek, polyfil or synthetic filter disks(my favorite choice) for jars. I'm sure myco supply has filter disks. I like them because you use them over and over for years. I've never yet had to throw one away.

Damn, I thought it was a generic tyvek brand. Oops. Oh well, it was only a couple of bucks.
