Never used it. Never had any problems.

No holes. Just a small slit to slide the probe wires through. I use rubbermaid tubs that seal pretty well so that's probably why I've never had to do the press-n-seal thing...

I will be using press-n-seal because the tubs I use have air flow and do not have locking lids. If you have locking lids, you may not need it.

Well darn I hope Im not messing up I used grating with a lot of water do y'all get a slits dimpling at the first week ?

I usually don't get the dimpling until the last couple of weeks of incubation. Have any pics of the eggs?

I use the same method and my eggs start to dimple the last week of incubation.

Its not bad just slight but I just put press n seal on the tub Im Just worried because with so much water I don't want condensation to drip on them and if I tilt it water might get on them

My girl JUST ovulated this morning so I won't be getting eggs for a bit. However, I plan on tilting my egg box just slightly. I am going to be putting one end of the box resting on a thin jewel case (those skinny CD cases) which will allow the water to slide down the press-n-seal and not drip on the eggs.

Wouldn't it just be easier to spend 2 bucks on an egg tub that seals without the need for press-n-seal? No need for the press-n-seal, no need to worry about water dripping, no need to worry about tilting the egg boxes. It's stressful enough watching the eggs sitting there for 56 days...why add to that stress?

I see these threads pop up every year and I can't help but wonder why people make it so difficult. Mixing all kinds of substrates, cutting up light diffusers, sealing up egg boxes (and then drilling air holes ), etc...

Rubbermaid egg box + a little Hatchrite = no worries...
