this would be correct.

The foil isn't a functioning part of the jars, just a cover to keep excess water out during PC'ing.

gluck!

okay i am gonna go with the micropore tape instead of tyvek.. but once i place a single piece of the pore tape over the hole do i tighten the lid all the way or do i have to leave it loose?

Lids always tight. You want the gas exchange going through your lid holes and filter, not around the edge of the lid where it doesn't get filtered.
