Get widemouth half pint jars. Ace will have them.
Room temp is fine. 75-81 is ok, but no hotter.
Yes, drill holes all over all six sides, every two inches.
4 days is a bit optimistic for pins, more like 7-10.

If you have a surgical facemask and use gloves, in my opinion you're better off to shoot the jars in room air vs a glovebox.
Quick, accurate motion assures sterility. Flame, shoot.
Glovebox for anything involving open jars or handling spores outside of syringes.

If you dont have a PC go to walmart and you can get a nice little 8qt one for a little less than 40 dollars. I like mine and it makes things a lot easier. Good Luck:mushroom2:

No. Also, you don't need to dunk your cakes in Evian water.

let them sit in the jars for another 7-10 days after full colonization.  this helps the mycelium consolidate and get a better handle on the substrate.  Also, it will prevent wispy fragile aerial myc from getting damaged, as it will be pressed firmly to the sides of the cake.

never open your jars until fully colonized.

Always dunk your cakes. 

I use spring water or tap water.  Use spring water from a grocery store if you have crappy water quality in your area but you should be fine.

fully colonized cakes have immune systems of their own and will be fine in water for up to 48 hrs, tho 12-20 is preferable. 

throw a hepa filter in the room with your FC and clean your FC with vinegar and alcohol between each grow and you should be fine as far as cleanliness for fruiting and dunking goes.
