Play with matches and you will wet the bed.... 1

Last night I inoculated my first grain jars in over a year. I am writing this now because it turned out to be waaaaay more of an event then I planned for. After getting everything into my glove box, and the spores well shaken, I lit the flame to my homemade alcohol burner(half pint jar with cotton). I then put my gloves on wiped down my glove box with alcohol, got a paper towel ready also soaked in alcohol, and also washed my gloves with alcohol. Then like a complete retard, I decided to add more alcohol to my burner jar after it was lit....Needless to say when I squeezed the bottle fumes shot out over the flame catching the freshly alcohol swiped glove box on fire, I immediately tried patting it out with my hands...Bad mistake because I had just washed them with alcohol as well...Not only did I catch my hand on fire but also the alcohol soaks paper towel. This spread to the counter top and onto some random tools near by. I stood there freaking out with 5 separate flames shooting up not realizing that the laytex gloves were melting to my hand...I threw off the gloves and grabbed everything on fire and threw it on the concrete floor and let it die down. This created a lot of smoke, so I opened the door...Well the smoke wasn't the only thing that escaped so did my dog, while i was putting water on the burning ashes...So at the end of the night I still hadn't inoculated my jars, I had spent a half hour finding my dog, ruined my glove box, and have 10 small burns all over the back of my hand...Moral of the story, be safe with 91% isopropyl alcohol and don't be a retard hahaha.

I have noticed that 70% is what is suggested, but I took it from work and all we have is 90-100% (I'm that cheap i didn't want to pay a dollar fifty for 70% hahaha).

I can't count how many times I've typed to wash gloveboxes with soap and water and then leave wet while you work. Alcohol or lysol should NEVER be used in a glovebox. Not only is it a waste of product because it does no good, it's dangerous as you have become the latest in a very long line of people to find out.
For a visual demonstration of how to use flame sterilization with a still air box, watch part 2 of the brf tek videos. When you do, please do me a favor. Put a 'like' on the facebook link. Mrs rabbit just put up a facebook page for our farm and we need a shitton of likes. <-----Shameless plug. RR

90% ISO is not a good disinfectant. The reason you need to use 70% is the nasties are tricked into absorbing it based in the water content. 90% is however great for cleaning pipes

90 and 70 both work equally well for mycology purposes. 90 costs more.
but in no case do you want fire in your glovebox!

No joke, I didn't include this part cuz it dosnt deal with cultivating, but during my search for my dog. I was walking along the edge of the woods behind my house yelling his name. Wellll I was behind a neighbors house (it was twelve at night btw) yelling and I guess his wife got scared so he came out to investigate. I turn around when he yelled hey! There he was with a flash light and a .22 rifle hahahaha. I explained what I was doing and he apologized and offered to help find my dog. So basically what started as a glove box fire ended in me almost getting shot. And I didn't make that up. Hahaha. Wasn't my best mushroom growing experiance hahahaha.
