Did I mess up? PC Problems!

Alright guys, I may have messed up but not something too bad.
First mistake: I accidentally let out the steam from the PC after only 10 minutes of cooling.
Second Mistake: My micropore tape melted and I think some may have gotten into the jar!
Should I remake the jars and start over or should I try and continue?
Obviously haven't touched the spores yet so they are still safe from error.

Just a noob here albiet a so far sucessful noob my opinion when in doubt toss it out you havnt messed up your spores yet so might as well give them the best possible chance they will love you for it and they will make their love known too im sure of it btw what strain are you growing

The good ole B+! Ole faithful.
Yea, I might as well throw them out and try again. An extra day won't hurt and much better than wasting spores and having to order new ones.
This time I'll go without the tape and leave the steam inside all night.

What's the purpose of the tape in your application?

You'll be fine. The only real danger from cooling your jars too fast is they might crack. If not cracked ,they're fine. As for the tape, it's sterile so really no problem. I've seen people grow these on anything. Maybe you'll discover a new sub.

I don't put micropore through the pc. Just have a small hole with foil over and cooled in the sab. Then I either inject or take the lid off and put on 2-3 layers of tape. I've never germinated spores with 3 layers so idk if it's enough GE. but on my jars 3 layers and I still have enough GE to colonize the whole jar with a few wedges of agar.
Doing it this way I've had amazing success. Tossed 2 jars in the last 70ish. This is a method used for poor people who don't like using the post office for supplies. I understand SFDs can be a pain to find if you don't use the post office. This was just my alternative.

I have been using $12 tyvek suits from Lowes that can make 1000's of filters. I have been using them for over a year now. I never use aluminum foil during pc run and have never had a contam from using them. I make sure to put the filter on right side out ( the inside of the suit is smooth while the outside has a slightly cottony texture). The suits are built to be water proof while still having the ability to breathe. So as long as you use it correctly, you should never have a problem.
