applesnail Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) thrift shops are good for sourcing these kinda things the salvos etc if your having real trouble finding shiney new ones once they have been sterilised they would be fine!....one can be surprised wat they can find in second hand junk shop, i have built all kinds of nice useful contraptions from other ppls junk, and the best blender i ever got came from the salvos, its a champ, i destroyed so many nice shiney silver expensive ones & the $5 throw away plastic that i got @ the op shop just keeps blending away its indestructable, gotta love old school quality @ times! http://aussimushroomsupplies.com/grow-jars.htm Edited June 8, 2011 by applesnail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

occidentalis Posted June 8, 2011 There is really no need for them. Just just normal jars, crumble and case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myco Posted June 8, 2011 so normal jars wont break they will be steamed for sterilization as i dont have a pressure cooker the other thing i was a bit worried about is getting the cakes out as most normal jars have a smaller rim and wtf verm = asbestos are you serious?? although it is possible to find traces of asbestos in contaminated verm verm is not esbestos and should not contain any esbestos Although not all vermiculite contains asbestos, some products were made with vermiculite that contained asbestos until the early 1990s. Vermiculite mines throughout the world are now regularly tested for it and are supposed to sell products that contain no asbestos. The former vermiculite mine in Libby, Montana, did have tremolite asbestos as well as winchite and richterite (both fibrous amphiboles) — in fact, it was formed underground through essentially the same geologic processes as the contaminants. A vermiculite mine in Virginia has also been found to be contaminated by asbestos.[broken citation][4] Pure vermiculite does not contain asbestos and is non-toxic, but it can become contaminated over long periods if there is a presence of a secondary mineral called diopside. After millions of years of weathering, the biotite turns into vermiculite and the diopside turns into asbestos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
