Retarded ass question...but must know

Got a retarded ass question. I got my Mexi-Cube syringe today. So the WBS is sitting in water now...waiting for it to turn rusty. And I built my incubation chamber using the TiT. The Thermo is reading around 77.2, which I'm trying to get a few degrees higher before i set my jars in it. But anyway, the question, i wasnt able to get a hold of tyvek today so what I plan on doing is using aluminum foil to takes its place. And also wraping the top of the lid with an additionally two pieces of aluminum foil for each jar. My jars do have a 1/4 inch hole on top and stuffed with polyfil. So, is it good enough for using just aluminum foil. Or are their other ways you found easier to do. Also, when I put my jars into the incubater do I remove just the two top layers of aluminum foil so that there is the polyfil showing and still a piece of foil under neath the jar lid? Any tips would help! Thanx.

I am assuming you are using Doc's WBS Tek lids.....
First off if you don't have tyvek then don't worry, but don't replace it, tin foil will not give you the proper gas exchange that tyvek will.
And if you are hard up for tyvek just goto the post office (it is free you know)

ok cool, so should I take the foil off the jars when I put them into the incubation chamber then?

the polyfil, and the tyvek are both doing the same job. i guess using both would not be a sin, but by replacing the tyvek with foil you will suffocate your growing myc. yes the foil will help prevent contamination, but the myc is a living organism, and needs to be able to breath. if it makes you fell better just take out the under the lid foil and you can still use the top layer, but maybe no rubber bands.

you'd be fine with just the polyfill in the holes IME.. All i do is drill a 1/4" hole on the center and fill it with polyfill. The after I innoc the jars i cover them with a coffee filter and rubber band it on. This method hasn't failed me..
