tyvek car cover

37pens · 10-11-09, 14:26

So I was just at wally-world and picked up a budgelite car cover. I'm pretty sure it's made out of tyvek, so i'll be trying it out for some filtered lids.
I believe it ran me about 30 bucks, and seems like a lifetime supply for me.

that's plastic [polypropylene], not tyvek.
a waste of money,

thanks, I haven't cut it up yet, and made sure to get one that would fit my car so not too big of a waste

edit: actually i think i'm still going to test it on a jar or two, after reading a little more about polypropylene filter cloth, seems like it should be autoclave-able, and the pore size should be small enough to warrant at least a few test runs.
