The stuff is actually used in flourescent lighting. It's called "eggcrate louver" lens. It goes in the ceiling and I guess it breaks up the light that shines down. Next time your in an office building, look up...

You can buy a 2 ft by 4ft section for about 10 bucks, and thats enought to last you pretty much forever (its easily re-usable, and one sheet will fill8 or 9 egg boxes). Get it at any Home Depot or Lowes, in the lighting section.

I'm absolutely sold on this method of incubation. I will never go back....

I have seen quite a few using it and just assumed every one knew but me. ..Ironically enough,i should have guessed that.Since i've installed a few of them...lol

I have a clutch on a few layers of some rubber cheesecloth stuff,but it doesnt appear to be working very well.

Thank you

Here's a picture of some other stuff I used. I got it at Wal-mart as a part of some kitchen drainer thing that I cut apart. Anything similar should work really. The key is to have very little or no ventilation in the egg box. This allows the humidity to easily reach near 100%. Also, my incubators are heated from the bottom....I'm sure this also helps boost the humidity, but tons of other do the no-sub thing with other styles of incubators.

Good stuff Joe,
I just lugged a used/broken standup freezer in,and now i am off to wal-mart to search for "the right plastic kitchen drain".
My family could be right?..i am crazy? lol
