Housewrap Tyvek Pre-Sterilization
    #7396462 - 09/11/07 01:40 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I obtained more than enough 'housewrap' type Tyvek to last 6 months or so. It came from a construction site however and has some dirt on it. I will be cutting tyvek filters to suit quart jars. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to pre-sterilize these discs before using them? Will this be a problem?

if it's made the same way as the "house-wrap" i use, it will separate into two layers if you boil it for 10-15.
one layer has a very open porous weave with a lattice like structure bonded to it.
the other layer has a cloth-like feel to it,thats the part you want,just peel the two apart.
no need to further sterilize as the boil(to separate the layers)plus the sterilization, while pc'ing the grain, will be more than enough.

i don't know about disks,tried it once with my jars(i use coffee jars with pc'able plastic lids) and found it a pita.
just cut out squares of the "cloth-like" material about 3" larger than the diameter of the jar,and place between the jar and lid.
pic in gallery of the material and jars used. worked fine so far.
good luck
