how much more risk of contamination is there making your own spore syringe vs buying one?

I want to get another grow going and I have some spore prints from my last grow, only I don't think they are very sterile and I dont think I stored them properly. I am afraid if I go through the trouble of making my own syringe and innoculating a bunch of jars they will just contaminate. Is this a valid fear? Would it sbe smarter to just order a spore syringe?

If your work space is clean you shouldn't have a problem with contams. There hasn't been one problem with any syringes that I have made.

If you can put it on agar, do it. It's a valid fear. They might be fine, they might all contaminate.
If you can't do agar or are unwilling to, there's the BRF agar substitute, or you can just put a few drops from a syringe on a pint jar with like 1/4" grains to see if any contams show up. If none do, just go ahead and G2G. You can also transfer a small section of clean grains if bacteria shows up at the bottom as it often does.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...
