Just line the bottom of your PC with some lid rings from your extra jars and cover them with a sheet of aluminum foil.

Yeah, you can store them in another container until you noc 'em up. I'd use the oven myself.
As for the DIY racks, take the aluminum foil balls and flatten them out a little by pressing a book down on top of them before you put them in the PC. Use a lot of flattened balls and then cover them with a sheet of foil and you should be just fine brother.

Put some 70% isopropyl alcohol on that clean cotton rag before you use it to wipe the jar's rim.

Yes, the alcohol is a must. Why would you not use alcohol and risk any contams? Have a look at any version of PF Tek, they all use alcohol.

I just reviewed RR and RoadKill's PF Tek video from the "Let's Grow Mushrooms" video. He recommends wiping with a "dry (paper) towel" to eliminate moisture at the top edge.

i didnt have paper towels handy just used a sterile medical cloth with no lint and wiped down with dry side of the cloth then used some 70% iso on another piece of the rag and wiped it down the alcohol evaporates fast so im sure its fine and dry as long as i got all the substrate off the top im pretty sure thats the idea right? thanks for the info though!! al helped im PCing my jars as we speak hopefuly all goes great!
