I recently purchased an air filter hammock from Canadian tire. It is a dense, 30"x64" polyfill blanket with electrostaticly charged fibres and some kind of bacteria guard coating...it trims out really easy..good for 300+ jar lids or larger patches for fruiting chambers. (bacteria free gas exchange) Cost about $12 cdn.
I have had 0 contams since I started using this stuff...hope this is helpfull...Mycotopia has been priceless to me

Do you use this over the lid or with no lid?

I use it under the lid, as an extra barrier...the material sort of forms to the edges of the jar and provides a fairly tight seal after pressure cooking...perfect for syringe inoculation..there is no hole left behind,and the jars can breath a bit without sucking in contams...also, it is made out of synthetic fibers that have no water retention...they stay dry so they dont become a contamination wick...they seem to have eliminated my contam problems.

I found it in the furnace filter section in a local Canadian Tire store. I imagine that any well stocked hardware store would have something similer...Or maybe hunt online under furnace filters. |

I`me really glad I could contribute some usefull info to the board....I tried this hobby out about 10 years ago and finally gave up after limited success and a lot of failures..due mostly to lack of decent information...Mycotopia rekindled the interest, and showed me the way..I give my heart out to all of you! |

I couldn't find the hammock filters(*don't know what they are).but I used a purple color 3m filtrete filter instead of the red(home depot).and so far no contams.
I cut squares and did some jars with double tyvek,and double filter.and some jars with just a double filter.and everything looks good,no contams.
the only thing is that with these filters I used the hole i made to innoc did'nt reseal so I used masking tape to recover the hole.
I think maybe the hammock ones are thicker. |

This place has just what your looking for..real cheap..A roll of the stuff 20 feet long, 3 feet wide and an inch thick goes for $22. Should make about 1800 lids. ;} Scroll to the bottom of the page when it opens...

can it be used like polyfil? And by that I mean rolling it up and sticking it through a hole in the lid? |

You dont need to pull it through a hole..just cut into a 2" square, slip it under the lid (with hole punched in)and trim off the excess.See post above..(October 12, 2003 - 07:31 pm ) You can stick a syringe needle through it and it will close up..no hole in the filter. So far (36 jars over a month period) I have had no contamination problems. |
