Ok sweet 
I just took the PC off the eye, so ill be back in 3 hrs to do my first agar dishes.
Where do i need to place stuff, on the edges? I read countless times to not put your hand over anything. I have my glad bags, syringe, alcohol pads and dishes on the outer edges, ie back and sides

Agar came out of PC with small clump of something, i shook it and it dissolved.
Let the bottle cool in SAB till warm to touch and started pouring, i didn't have enough for all 20 so i must have poured a few to full, there was 5 left over. I put them in glad bags. The others i poured are hopefully solidifying

You put them into bags immediately? I let my plates sit in the closed up SAB until they set a good hour before putting them in the bags. You may have some sloping in your plates.
Whatever amount of agar works best for you, is the magic number. For me, I've been getting about 20plates out of a snapple bottle (which only really fits 400mL comfortably).

I put the 5 unused ones in bags, and the surface was slightly tilted but not much, after the 5th one i started correcting for the tilt.

I am a Fan of a bit more agar in the plate. Of course you don't need much agar, but in my opinion more agar in one plate is easier to transfer later, because it's easier to "stab" into the agar wedge with the scalpel.
When I use very thin agar plates, I have the problem that I'm not able to "grab" the wedges for transfer and stabbing is also not that easy. So better use a bit more IMO.
Since agar and LME are the cheapest things in this hobby, you can afford it :P

Did you noc any of them up? After I poured, I hit 2 dishes with 2 drops each of a spore syringe solution. And I have the other plates ready to go when I need to make transfers in a couple of days. You want to hit the myc as soon as it starts to show- before a bunch of strain have formed and start fighting it out.

Yes i did 4 dishes, all were different amounts of agar so i can test the differences, and i also figured id contam 1 or 2. I also did 2 drops.
That leaves me with 11 poured plates. I'm ordering 20 more Monday.
I'm happy that it gelled up, i figured I'd mess up so bad it wouldn't.

Interesting tidbit from workman in a different agar thread:
Quote:
when you take foil wrapped glass dishes out of your PC the foil is going to be wet and I find it nicer to have everything including the package the dishes in dry so wrapping them in foil and baking them is preferred.

I was originally looking into the glass petris and bought some because i liked the oven idea, but after realizing I'll be going through a lot of dishes i put them away and bought plastic ones.
On that note no signs of mycelium or contam thats visible. All dishes cleared of condensation except a few of the extras i poured.
