Best airtight/waterproof Tape?
    #8835686 -

Does anyone know what is the absolute best tape to use to create an airtight, waterproof seal that will withstand pressure cooking?  Is johnson & Johnsons waterproof first aid tape capable of withstanding 2 hours of pressure cooking?

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not really interested in how the tape would work on jars.  It's more for an application on growbags going into a PC and I know you need air exchange in a PC and all that.  What I'm trying to find out is what is the best tape to create an airtight seam on a growbag if it is going into a pressure cooker for 2 hours.  Once again, I know it needs air exchange somewhere else if I seal a seam with tape.

You don't want an airtight seal on your jars during PC.  You just want to put some foil over the top so water from the top wont drip on the jars and ruining the moisture content of your jars.  The moisture inside the jar will not evaporate nor will it get wet.  This is because they are under pressure and in 100% humidity so there would be no evaporation in the first place. You need fresh air exchange anyway and will sterilize them better, and also FAE is very important during colonization as it allows the mycelium to breathe and grow stronger and faster.  Don't worry about contams, thats what vermiculite is for.


cheers dood you answered one of my questions!
