Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to filter out the seeds from the bleach water (when flasking using the dry-pod method)?????? Or where to get it? I've been using a peice of screen that I cut from a paint filter. It works, but it's so small that it is a real pain in the butt! Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe some thick coffee filters? I don't know as I haven't tried dry pod flasking. Maybe some filter paper like we use in chemistry class; it is a circle about 4 inches in diameter and filters out nearly everything.
You can use coffee filter paper or a chemistry paper filter (much better but expensive & hard to find). You wrap your seeds into a tiny bad of a paper filter; deep into bleach solution (10% Clorox for 15 minutes) then deep 3 times into sterile and distilled water; then sow. It's easy to handle that way: no filter, less contaminate, no special equipment. I have few bags of Phal dry seeds; PM me if you want to exchange?
