Love it!
Love it
Also adds a layer of protection to the glass that’s a huge advantage over paint, for me that’s a way bigger selling point than ease of application
Excellent point. I am always banging mine together, lol.
@@KeepOnGrowin : Well Mike, I’m an old lab rat. so this is something that pretty much all of us I’ve had to deal with.
A person can’t afford to have lab equipment rolling and smacking around, (Even though the glass is tempered) although it’s inevitable if precautions aren’t taken.
so if that’s an issue, consider wrapping a nice thick rubber band around your vessels.
It’s a cheap fix, and a cheap bumper to protect your glassware. and as a bonus, if you do happen to knock something over, it doesn’t roll off your workbench. The rubber band usually stops the rolling, which should also function to limit the range of the mess from any spills.
My word! I use this for electrical wiring. Never even thought of it. GENIUS!!!
Thanks for sharing Mike! Awesome technique
A good recycling project might be to use old clothing like black pants or leggings to make jar sleeves. 😁
Nice!!
I was doing that with some nice old socks, that I finally managed to put my toes through.
Not the total answer, though, for 3 1/2 gallon block it.
Sadly, I think I’m stuck with spray paint for that.
Would it be great, if this, or maybe some sort of cling wrap were available in black, for the 2 to 5 gallon buckets?!
I had no idea that was available big enough to put on a pint jar. Thank you for that, Mike. !
That would be cool!
@@KeepOnGrowin : You are so, right! I’m glad to know about this trick that you presented today, though. Thanks again! 🙂
These are quart jars. Going to try 70mm on pints when it arrives. 👍
I use aluminum foil. It allows me to peel it back to check the water level.
great point
Mike, all I see is the short version of the video…where can you find shrink wrap this size? Thank you.

Thank you Sir! I have learned so much from you over the past couple of years. Still learning…but that’s what it is about.
Brilliant!!!!
I put a sock over my jar by sliding the jar in the sock. You sometimes end up with one with holes (which you could use too) or lose a sock so you end up with one. I slide it over the jar. Even if you go to Dollar Tree you can get them cheap. They last for a long time.
Nice! Great tip.
I do the same thing, but if the sock is not a black sock or nearly black, I find that I still get algae growing in the growth medium.
WOW!!!! Thats Fantastic
Thank Youu!!
What type of cup is that and where can I buy them?
Cool, thanks.
