This hobby can be frustrating with very long wait times without a pressure cooker. Get a cheap used one somewhere. Once you get a clean (agar>LC) LC everything happens a lot easier and faster. Inoculation with spores can and does work for many people, but it is very slow and the slower the colonization the more problems that can occur.
-------------------- "The universe is endless, limitless and infinite. Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance. We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end. There is only memory. Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends. Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations. Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death." -- Ancient Taoist Master

That's what the foil is for. If you're that paranoid you can put micropore tape over the holes + foil during steaming and then just inject right through the tape and leave the foil off.

Yes but LC is barely worth trying even with a PC. When you get a good LC it can rock, but they are risky, especially for noobs.
