ok...im about to start making my first FC...now as for the holes for FAE i was thinking of cutting up filter used for heating/air conditioning and taping that to the tub...would that work? they're 'guaranteed to catch 95% of airborne allergens and bacteria'...i have a million of them and i get them for free so i figured why not use it if i can...any advice would be appreciated

What kind of FC?
On a mono tub, in the fruiting stage. A double, or triple thickness of those, would work. But, at the bulk tub substrate colonization stage. Tyvek would be better, then switch over once it's cased.
