Can I get SFDs wet when shaking spawn?

I'm doing my first WBS grow, and I've seen a lot of threads saying that when shaking grain jars with polyfill filters to make sure the filter doesn't get wet, as it'll encourage contams.
My question: is the same true of SFDs? Is it a terrible mistake to get it wet or can I shake the everloving shit out of my jars? I bought premade plastic lids with the filter disks pretty well sealed onto them, if that makes any difference.

I think that depends a lot on whether it's cellulose or synthetic or glass, but your grain shouldn't be wet enough to make your SFD filter wet in the first place.

Well, the S in SFD stands for "synthetic" so I think that mystery is solved haha  The grains aren't wet enough to soak the filter or anything, but seeing as little bits of contact water are an issue for polyfill, I'm just making sure before I go mucking around with my jars.

I don't even put foil over my SFD lids when PC'ing and I've used them dozens of times.
