Birthing Teks, Sanitation ?, Alt Agar

So I did it! We made a fire, and made some BRF Cakes for PF Tek. Three of which we made with Rabbit Poo Tea, and 6 of which with our filtered water. It has been awhile- one of the POO-T's got contam, and had no growth, so we tossed it. Another POO-T has only one colonized point, and the last POO-T has two points. I am left wondering why the POO-T had possibly a bad effect opposite to what I thought it would do… and I am also left with 6 BRF cake babies that are colonizing beautifully as I type this.
They should be ready in a week or less. Which brings me to ask- what do YOU do for your new cake birth?
I have read conflicting things on the interwebz, or just different things. But what is YOUR technique?
I have a tub ready - four holes in- and was just simply going to wipe down the inside with alcohol, and set the cakes in to birth. (Not worried about putting a bed of peralite or verm down since I live in the tropics and humidity is high, and adding more material would just put the risk of contam higher)
Do you set the cakes in naked the first time?
Someone in a thread I passed over suggested rolling the newly birthed cakes in verm or coco coir or a mix of both, and then putting them in the tub. Now if the cake is already pinning, is that a good idea, or should I just save it for the second flush? Suggestions?
Also, when I do roll my little babies in the cococoir/verm mix, does that shit have to be sanitized or can I just pasteurize the fuck outta it with some boiling water?
Any other secrets besides a 12-24 hour dunk?
Also, has anyone tried sanitizing tools with Steramine Sanitizer with success?
And does anyone have any successful experimental agar alternatives other than BRF, like potato starch, yucca, or banana and a tek to go with?

After you do your dunk roll them on all sides in verm. Give them an hour or two then mist them down. I find fine verm best for the roll.if there are pins that's fine it won't hurt them. Also look up bottom watering your cakes and reread the pf tek. Next time don't deviate from the recipe. As for your poo water i would think it would contam cause it wasn't pasteurized, but a tc would have better input on that then me.

OP, ur overwhelming yourself dude. keep it simple until you get at least a small handle on standard procedure.
its good to try things and think outside the box, but you gotta have a good idea of the size and shape of that box beforehand
