Bubble wrap is actually a good idea! Well I used a substrate calculator, and have a perfect amount of colonized spawn to do a 1:2 wbs : coir/verm ratio filling these three totes 3 inches

Its basically a soldering iron that has many interchangeable tips. With the smoke/plastic burning I wouldn't feel comfortable.
trust me myc is very forgiving and if you use this 
only a few shards of plastic may fall on your substrate and it wont hurt anything and your holes will be guaranteed to be in the right spot every batch you make.

Original Question: Thoughts? For my successful monotub I spawned to coir/verm and I intend to do the same for these monotubs. I have three of these totes that I will make into mono's and one that is already a sgfc. I am not sure if it was a stupid idea, but for using the wbs in the SGFC can I mix the colonized grain with coir/verm as I did before a 1:2 ratio, and put this mixture back inside a jar to colonize. then birth it like a cake and put it in the SGFC?

I am going to look for one of those drill bits tomorrow at lowes. What is the diameter? Also I only have a crappy drill. Would this easily cut through with a not so powerful drill? I am sure I can find one to borrow from someone.

1" i do believe, you may want to go bigger if youre using bigger monotubs. its called a hole saw and with these bits they catch the disc you drill out of your tub so it doesnt fall onto your sub.
