Okay I give up. I ordered 288 Tattler lids and I have tried them four times now and have a 50-75% seal rate. The rest need to be reprocessed with Ball or Kerr lids or refigerated and used soon. What are others canners results with these lids. I am planning on putting them away until I run out of regular lids and it’s a SHTF situation lol...

I ordered another 600+ normal lids yesterday with an additional 966 jars of various sizes (4oz. 8oz. 12oz. 16oz. 24oz. 32oz, and 64oz.) on Amazon. I about threw up at the $1,600 price tag, but it was the cheapest I could find and I needed them now or this week. Everywhere locally was sold out. Nothing available, but the battered case here or there. No more canned goods to family or friends who will not return jars, period!

That is a problem. People ‘mean’ to get them back to me, but usually don’t. :(

And that must be some sort of canning jar purchase record, LOL! I had to replenish a few things this year, but it was time.

Happy Canning! :)

Wow that’s a lot of supplies. I have used Tattler lids with great success, never had a problem with sealing. But I got some good deals on Ball lids and have been using them up first.
