Title: Polyfil question
Post by: bluerunner on August 25, 2008, 06:12:57 PM
Hey so I was planning on using polyfil as shown:

but I'm not sure about brands or if there is a specific type or whatever and the links on that page above don't work anymore.  Can you tell me if this stuff linked below would be ok?

Thanks for the help.

Hey random question, I got my syringes (containing spores) in the mail and then put them in ziplock bags and into the frig.... Now when I'm ready to inoculate should I take the syringe out and let it get to room temp before sterilizing followed by inoculating or does it not matter?

As long as its thawed I don't see a problem.

Another polyfil question, so I got that poly fiber stuff I linked above, but its grayer looking than it looks on the screen (does it matter if it's not white?) , oh and should I douse the polyfil in alcohol (to sterilize) before fitting it on my lids or would that be bad?

I've never soaked my ployfil.
The sterlization process will take care of that for you.
