Got my spores today

This is an excellent day. I got my spores in the mail today from two places.
I got two B+ syringes from SporeStore and I got my Golden Oyster spawn plugs, plus a syringe of Treasure Coast from SporeWorks and they kindly threw in an extra syringe of Ecuador for mentioning the shroomery.
Now I want to try and find a great tek that I can use to make an LC culture out of a few of those spawn plugs.
Anyone got any suggestions for that?

I believe Agar has a great Grain LC Tek, though it may be someone else... Basically you just need dextrose, vanilla, honey, malt, or potateo juice to get an LC started, use poly on one side of the lid and a SHIP on the other side....make sure your poly hole is about a half cm wide and PC for a half hour or so at 15psi I believe

Blackstrap molasses is actually the type of sugar I'm going to try, it's the most nutritious of all sugar syrups or anything else I've seen, by weight

I was successful using the kayro tech when I did my first grow a while back but that was using a fully colonized BRF cake.
I'm not sure exactly how I should tackle a spawn plug. I just wondered if anyone has ever done it.
I'm sure I can read through the LC teks again and come up with something.
I sure appreciate all the help that this community offers.
I don't have a glovebox constructed yet. I used the oven tek on my last go around but I don't know if I can get my kitchen as clean with this go around as I'm living with other people now.

Just go to Walmart, grab a big clean tote, with a top as flat as possible for good visibilty, take it home and use a hot-wire to cut out your holes, then stretch some sort of elastic canvas over the holes and then I just use the old plastic dollies for my burnable discs and cut the middle part out to make a ring, then use a drill and screw the canvas into place, cut a cross slit to put your arms through and there you have it, a air tight fit around your arms, mobility and all you need to do is shower, alcohol your gloves and arms and go for it

The best LC IMO is grain LC. Just look at the link in my sig. But for a more standard sugar LC I'd recommend the Turbinado LC, also by agar.

I sure appreciate all the help guys.
I guess I could simply inject sterile water right in to the bag of spawn plugs and draw it back out again. I could do this with a few syringes and then open the bag and still use the plugs to inoculate my logs. I'm sure that would work.
I'm going to follow previous advice and build a glove box asap.
