But can't you just as easily omit the hole for air exchange with two self-healing ports on the jar lid, and then fill the LC jar only half way to leave room for air? I've followed BuckarooBanzai's teks for self-healing injection ports and LCs with 100% success so far.
Again, I mean no disrespect to your obviously successful method. I'd just like to know what you feel the advantages are to having an air filter on your LC jars as opposed to not having one at all.

Make at least two lids for liquid culture jars. liquid culture jars don’t need tyvek vents, just two silicone injection ports.

so i successfully made a great looking brazilian lc with these lids indicaz.
only problem was, when i pulled my soccorex tube out of the jar, there was a crazy vaccum. Seems the filters dont breathe worth shit...
anyone else with this problem?
I had this problem too. But with good growth. Seems maybe mushies don't require as much air exchange as we think they do?

Not trying to diss your innovation, Indicaz, as I realize there are many ways to skin a cat and it looks like your cat is skinned proper.

you could and im sure you wouldnt have a problem... unless however that lc was to be stored for awhile, but i cant say im not a expert...
in that case clean filtered gaseous exchange misgh help sustain that culture? Stagnant air that has no exchange can eventually lead to contamination? I dont know lol
I really cant say if any works better or worse.... who cares really... this is what i found that has worked for me... I know what BB has works for him as well... There is no exact science here....

Now someone needs to figure out how to make the lids not rust
maybe a clear laquer? that can withstand heat and water/fluids....
look into that
peace

i just put a blob of RTV silicon under the lid holes, as well as above.
no rust.

I'm having a difficult time reducing contams during innoculation.

Will the self healing injection ports work with BRF TEK?

Yes sir. It will work great.

I think I'll probably do a good cleaning anyways.

you could inoculate almost anywhere.
just keep needle sterile, no need to flame contstantly
only if it touches unsterile like if you drop it..

if you see growth is very slow or even stops
that's often a sign of inadequate FAE .

I'm still trying to decide whether I want to try this 'waterproof' bandaid tek or go with Tyvek.

I tried 3m micropore tape a long time ago and you cannot pc that shit because it will seal itself shut elliminating the breathability.
