kmart jars have been discussed before i think.
the cork is agglomerate (cork/glue) - not reccomended.
the 5.6l jar lid has got a polyethylene seal(?).
as for using paper towel & rubber bands, i think it depends on your storage temps.
normally i would agree with big-rig, and during the cooler months it's ok.
but i had a some interesting losses when i aired some gin for 36hrs with paper towel recently, while we were having a run of very dry 40C days.
either that, or i have some very greedy angels in my shed :smile:
