I think op is using BRF instead of agar. Just BRF and water, or BRF, Verm, and water. No agar. Just thick rice flour mixture in a thin layer.

I dont see why not, its basicly a liquid, so as long as you get the temp up and keep them for 60-90 minutes it should sterilize it..

I just tried just that. I cleaned a pyrex measuring alcohol w/ IPA, and microwatved the water, added premade LMA powder, and nuked to boiling again. Then I poured into sterile petris opening just enough to quickly pour some in. I figure if they are still clean in a few days then Ill be fine. We'll see! Hopefully it works as Its very hard to find agar here and expensive online. Wish I could find a good used PC cheap!

Now I feel MUCH better, PP. Thanks!lol
Im in East Bumfuct midcoast Maine
Closest agar is Portland 100 miles away. Checked oriental section of "mega-mart" supermarkets. There is like 10 non-whites in the whole state. Even Brown Rice has an inch layer of dust on it.
I should buy a pant-load when I do make it to the city, but it never happens for various reasons. I used the last of my LMA powder last night making 6 dishes w/o PCing em. See how that goes...
Do I need to parafilm the dishes before I nocc em up? Your supposted to keep em upside down for condensatsion, right? Seems like contams can get in the rim if upsidedown and not filmed...
