    #7327935 - 08/23/07 10:28 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Tyvek works fine. Either on the jar under the flat part of the lid. Or on the flat part of the lid with the jar band around it.

I usually never get contams when using tyvek and polyfill together... it's a very nice combination... just wad up some polyfill and pull it through the hole in the lid and use the tyvek under that ... then after innoc. I like to wrap tinfoil over the top of the jars.

I use both . Tyvek under the lid , Two 1/4" holes in the lid , one stuffed with polyfil . I soak the polyfil with alcohol and inoculate through the polyfil . Cuts down on contams quit a bit .:grin: And I inoculate in the open air .:thumbup:

Awesome. This guy thanks you all very much.

He will probably have other questions in the future...

Both the polyfil battting and the sheeted crib batting are excellent.

Water will pass through it easier than coffee filters or tyvek and it doesent absorb moisture.
