FSRE.nl for prints. They jsut ran out of syringes.
Otherwise, the closest sponsor is MRCAshop.org . I think you ca get a spore syringe shipped for 13 pounds aproximately.
Sporeworks works out to be the cheapest I believe. When you order a syringe and tell them you are a shroomery member, they give you a free one. So for 23$US about £14.50, you get two syringes.

What are these jars? Do you have a Prestige 6 liter high dome? I do and would like to know if they fit. 
These are the jars http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/Oils_And_Vinegar/Sarsons_Distilled_Vinegar_for_Pickling_114L.html?ShowSwitchSMBar=3 I also have a Prestige 6 and am pretty sure they will fit. I'll measure them up tomorrow and make sure. It will be great if they do could save me quite a bit of time.
Give it a try. I know that those 750g dolmio jars are epic. I cant afford a ton of them so I mostly use 440g curry jars. I tried a 750g uncle bens jar and that was just a hair too tall.
I still want to know how many 1L kilner jars can fit in these things.
some day I'll grow up and get a big boy pc, and proper jars to fill it with.
I got some spawn bags in mine right now. 2.5L each. Gonna try 4L next time

Yeah Base Icks, you should get some 1ltr. monster kilner jars they are so worth it, and they do look sweet all lined up and matching and whatnot.
Was it you who wanted to know about spare gaskets for the 22ltr Hawkins Big Boy PC? They are cheap and available from a ton of places, £2.95 upwards.

Ok thanks, i have looked at both of those sources.
Please could you tell me what the situation is with ordering this type of thing from overseas?
I am a bit concerned a package with a customs label will arrive saying "mushroom spores" or something similar.
My residence is secure but my post box is unfortunately not secure.

And yeah man it was me. Good to know they are cheap. Where did you get yours?
I want to get kilners but like I said I'm not sure how many will fit in my pc. I should go down to the shop and ask them if I can take one out of the box and see how many jars will fit in there, since they sell jars there too.

so are those big bolognaise jars ok for grains
was planning something with a few of the jam jars mentioned on here as a grain liquid culture to inoculate those bolognaise jars filled with rye grain?
is it a PITA to get grains out with those narrow mouth jars?

For my situation with 6L high domes, 750g dolmios are the best thing I've found so far. It allows me to fit the equivalent of 3 liter jars in there.
Not bad. I think I'm getting a proper pc for christmas.

Yeah I have 3 of the 6l. Had one to start with, then fond one at the tip. Then bought one cheap off ebay. My original one has a bulge in the bottom so I just use it to boil grains now.
And for tyvek I get it off ebay. I just buy suits. If the price is right i get XXL. other wise just XL. I got 4 around here. two are still in the package, ones been cut to shreds, and the other I use while I do GB work. It is missing a leg though
