Some plants get lots of blac spots, just keep them dry to cause them vanish later on. They leave small scars to plant. Keep bridgesii in very dry and it's ok.
I took cutting from cactus and moved them indoors to dark, second cutting had few sunspots, but they seems to be dying off from the skin of plant.
Those spots are very common with trichs, I think you don't need to keep them under sun and cover them with anyhting, move them to shady and dry place to callous. Those spots should disappear, especially if plants have dry days. Moist and cool conditions have caused that ooze keeps on "growing" for some reason in bridgesii.. I think it's not problem to anyone else than me but just wanted to say they need really dry conditions compared to pachanoi. As cuttings especially. Also they all almost seems to have somekind of sun spots on skin. Especially when environment changes rapidly. (like moving the plant from shade to sun or another way it may happen as well. I mean if plant is moved from sun to shade, it may shock and developing sun spots in shade.
Your plants should be fine, make sure callous is good and plant them after few weeks in to good soil.
Those spots turns to white dead skin and they are relatively harmless to plant it self. Sun spots don't kill trichs so easy, only I've seen it happen in too low temps and too humid. Then sun spots don't die away and may cause problems.. It sounds silly but sun spots have been so far seem to be problem for me with bridgesii, cuttings only, rooted plants can take sun spots and go on. Cuttings have died to molding in my climate and it starts from those spots.
I would not think about those spots, if cuttings are otherwise healthy. They may have just shocked the sudden change of light levels when you cover them with cardboard. At the moment I have one trich cutting, developing same spots than yours. I just let it be and they usually vanish. Those spots come after day or two after I've moved cutting from greenhouse to shade indoors. They may shock sudden light decreasing as well as increasing and spots are result of it but in general and most of the times, they don't kill any trichs or if so, then it's too cold and humid for them what obviously isn't good for any cactus cutting.
Those comes and goes on trichs.. Not fatal at all. Just wait and black spots starts to die away.

they look fine. Bridgesii cuttings tend to bruise and purple really easy. I thought nearly everyone I had was going to die at some point. It is normal.
