Micropore tape, foil, and moisture
    #9795623 - 02/14/09 01:11 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

Yesterday, I made substrate and filled 10 1/2 pint jars ala PF Tek.  I covered the innoc holes with micropore tape, then the entire top portion of the jar with aluminum foil, then I PC'd them.  While I let them cool for few hours I went and made my glovebox.  I was short on time, so I only knocked up 5, but when I took off the foil from the jars, the micropore tape was soaked.  There was even droplets of condensation on the lids.  It was a pain to get the tape off, and after I was finished I put fresh tape on the holes and set the jars aside so they can start colonizing.  When I looked this morning, the tape looked a little wet, but was dry to the touch. 

So here's my question: Is that moisture on the tape harmful in any way?  Be it contams, H2O level getting messed up, anything like that?  Should I not put tape on before I PC? 

Thanks

3 days ago I pc 5 jars of popcorn. when they came out I took the foil off and let them rest a day. injected right through the micropore and put a new peice on top of the old. seemed fine to me. since it was hard to take off i decided just put another peice on.

It's normal for it to be damp under the foil.  Remove the foil when you remove the jars from the PC or kettle, and save it for the next batch of jars.  Don't remove the micropore tape.  Wipe it with alcohol and inject right through it.  Then, cover the wound with a fresh piece.

Everything sounds ok..  What I do is put tape over the holes cover the top with 2 layers of foil PC for 120 minutes let them sit in the PC over night to cool off then the next day I inject LC into the grain jars straight through the tape and then just add a fresh piece over where I injected at..  The sit them in the closet for 14 days..
