Yet another stacking question

So I'm doing the BRF tek...just started colonizing...used the plastic tek with the wide and short containers...thing is I got 1 terrarium and 30 cakes... afraid Ill only be able to get 8-9 stacks of 3-4 cakes...
seeing as they are so short and wide I thought it would be ok to stack them.
is that going to be too much? Not worried about them falling over because they are wide.
Also, I have read many different methods of stacking...putting tin foil in between each cake....a good thick layer of verm between each cake...just stacking them and letting them fuse together..
anyone know if any method is better than another?
any other worries I should be having?

half pint container I used

I would stack em with a little bit of fine verm between the cakes. Usually at some point during your misting and fanning process they will colonize right through the verm barriers and kinda fuse together, though not completely most of the time IME.
But yeah, stack on brother.

would the dunk and roll provide enough vermiculite or should I add a little extra on top of that?

Depends on how much sticks, but any amount generally works okay for me. It doesn't need a bunch.

I do verm sandwiched between. But I take a shishkabob skewer and stab em through the center holding them all together.

If at all possible you're not going to want to stack your cakes. Less surface area will equal less fruit.
You could easily fill a tray with your cakes and case with the vermiculite you already have on hand and save yourself a whole lot of time and aggravation in the process.
