Jack, I use bags I purchase at Dollar Stores, if you can find one...Dollar Stores are as rare as liquor stores in this town . The bags are intended for filtering the washing machine drain line. They work perfect for carbon.
And to answer the earlier question if I put carbon in my mouth...only if I was out drinkin' the night before. I don't wake up wondering if the cat
$h!t in my mouth...
