Making a print worth it?

At first reading the question im sure everyone was like YES it is worth it! But:
1. Not having a glove box(yet) and seeing as the risk for contam is high when taking a print without glove box, is it worth doing it? I have 200ccs of LC's of the same strain so would taking a print be worth it? I would probably not even use it for many months since I have the LC. What would shroomery do?

Make the print, wipe the foil with some Iso- cut eh cap off put it on the foil, cover it with a glass, or bowl for a day or 2 then fold up-No print is 100pct sterile- your fruiting chamber has contams floating thorough it all the time- And what if your Lc contams, then ur fucked

You should first spend five bucks on a container and make a glovebox. Regardless, you could try to make a print and just inoculate one jar to see if it contams before you use the whole syringe. Even though I prefer grain transfers and cloning over making syringes, I always make prints anyway.

I'm no expert but I would say for the little effort it takes you might as well take a print. Can't hurt anything right. Anything gets contam just PC (if you have to) and toss it out.

i make prints all the time without using a glovebox and never have a problem with it.
like that guy said, wipe foil with alc, put fresh cap on it, cover with shotglass. it's that easy.
