I put a layer of papertowels at lock down. I will dampen them as well to get the humidity up when needed.

I don't I just hatch in cartons. It keeps the incubator alot cleaner. The chicks hatch and pop out of the carton leaving behind the shell/hatching goop.

Shelf liner?
I sometimes use that.

I do that as well. I use the cardboard cartons and I line the bottom of the bator with paper towels. Works great.

I alss do not have to watch the ones who have hatched roll the ones that are still trying around like soccor balls.

Shelf liner and I hatch in cartons

I have the tray in mine. I bought it for #10 off of eggcartons.com. I like that I can re-use them over and over. The one I have for my LG allows me to add more water to the bottom so I can keep my humidity up. I bought two so I can always have a clean liner in. I won't hatch w/o one anymore.

That rubberized shelf liner works well and is waterproof. You can get it for $1 at the dollar store.

X2 this is what I use, I also put my eggs in a egg carton that I cut holes in so they can still vent properly.
