Question about spore syringes

Today I collected the rest of my supplies for my first pf tek. I mistakenly purchased syringes with 27 gauge needles. Is this too small for the spores to go through? There are no feed/farm supply stores open in my area to buy thicker needles and if it's possible I would rather get this done today as I'll be working next week and won't have any time.
The needle is also too short to reach into the cake so if I had a glovebox I could either take the whole lid off to inoculate them or put some of the actual syringe through the hole, which is a bit thinner than a pen. Is this an acceptable thing to do or should I wait until I get better syringes? I'm so impatient!

You could get a meat injector at a grocery store or a dept. store like kmart or target or some kitchen store

That's a good idea. I just looked up pretty much every store in my area and the ones that do have them are closed as it's a Sunday . I guess I'll just try and get a better syringe tomorrow.

27 is small. You might get some out but they would easily clump. 21 would be the minimum in my extremely limited experience (although I have tons of injection and biological experience)

I did once with a 29 gauge 1/4in? Maybe 1/2. It worked just fine. But mine were bags. I would just use what you got if you can't wait till Monday. Only stick the sterilized needle in the jar.

Just run down to the vet. It's scary how casual they are about it. I called up and asked for needles that are an inch or longer and preferable around 20 gauge and they were like come on down and they were like we'll show you what we've got, walked me into the back past all the restricted area shit into the storeroom and showed me this MASSIVE draw of needles and they let me pick any and I was like how much? And he said well they're usually about 20 cents each but they're a pain to do receipts for so just take them STRAYA
