This is a very important step, when putting the gummed lids in the water on the stove bring to a boil and LEAVE the lids in the hot water, you can turn the burner down to a simmer, leave them there until you are ready to use them. Let the canned jars sit for a day in plain view first. A couple of indications: You might hear the jars making a popping sound, after a day you can take the bands off of the jars and if the lid is loose, check the ingredients, possibly the lid did not seal.

How do you seal jars when canning with platisol lined lids?
The process is almost identical to the process for 2-piece canning lids. Choose plastisol lined lids with a "button" in the center of the lid. Wash them in mild soapy water, rinse, place in a pot of gently boiling water for 10 minutes then reduce the heat and keep hot until you use them. Tighten them down fingertip tight as you do with a 2-piece lid and process the same as for a 2-piece lid. Plastisol lids can take longer to seal, do not be worried if it takes an hour or more to hear the ping.

Is it safe to use old blue green glass canning jars?
You shouldn't use the older canning jars for several reasons. They may "explode" when the cool air hits the jar as you move it out of the hot water or at any time during the cooling down period. They may not seal well and the food could become contaminated or poisonous. The bottom could simply "fall off" in the water during the canning process, releasing the food within the jar out into the water. Also, the older jars were not made for pressure canning and may not withstand the pressure.

My wife and I have been canning for over 20 years and we re-use our lids each year. Occasionally a jar will not seal (about 1 or 2 per year), but we have never gotten sick from our home canning. However, one must be prudent when opening a jar so as not to bend the lid unduly.
Can you use misc jars you have around the house like mayo or other pickle jars to do your own pickling in and how do you seal them if so?
It is not safe to reuse commercial canning jars for home canning. The glass in home canning jars is thicker than in commercial jars and they are created specifically to work with 2-piece lids. It is also not advisable to use very old canning jars.
