I need tyvek

I've never used tyvek before, only polyfill.
Okay: post office? Free? What does it look like?
Also, when you put the Tyvek on the jars, you:
place circle with over jar put on metal iid with hole in center screw on metal band?
Is this right? I'm overthinking it probably but...I want my next little guys to come out perfect.

you can get tyvek at home depot or lowes in the paint section. or at the post office.
it looks like woven plastic fibers that are melted together (best description i can think of)
you can get them at the post office.. however, dont abuse it.
the way i do it is.. put on circle cap.. place tyvek over, then screw metal ring on. simple as that..

To be honest, I think I'm going to go the Lowes route. Post offices make me nervous; too "official" for my tastes.
In the paint section. Right. Will the package say 'tyvek' on it? Am I likely to recognize what I need?

lol, why would you pay for something that you can get from the post office for free? you don't have to ask for it or anything, at my post office they are sitting of a rack and you just grab what you need and leave.
when you go in there should be the envelope with bubble wrap inside type, the cardboard type then the tyvek type. you'll know what they are when you see them, they resemble some type of cloth.
lol, just go grab acouple. you can do 15 jars or so from each envelope. so grab 3 or 4 every week and before you know it you'll have more than enough

everyone takes the tyvek envelopes from the post office, thats what theyre there for. like said, just dont abuse it, if you face get familiar and they notice you arent bringing back any of the envelopes, they might cut you off, but even then you still woudnt need to be paranoid. the tyvek at the post office seems really thick to me, so i ditched it and cut up my tyvek sleeves that i ordered off one of shroomerys sponsors

Ok enough already.... Do I need to draw a picture? (LOL, I'm just kidding!). Anyhow. Here is what it looks like at the post office. DO NOT ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE! One envelope yields 10 perfect circles that will fit your jars.   Any questions?

LOL! I could video tape myself walking into the post office, grabbing a stack, and walking out, but that would be a little over the top. Yes it's free.

Yeah it was modified. One section brought to a point to penetrate the tyvek the rest razor sharp.
