Work slower. Flame up the handle more Spray after loading your box. I only wipe my dishes and jars as I use them, not on their way in

That bent tip could be good for scooping up wedges so you can just dump them off and not worry about them getting stuck to the blade.
Never seen a fixed blade like that.

My thoughts exactly. I love my "solid spear" scalpel. Its great for transfers. Was only 10$ and the only con is its a little hard to sharpen

Hahaha, just messing with you man. I'm so new to this that half of the time, I don't know what I'm doing. When I'm not sure I look to you and the others for guidance and you'll always have my respect.

To give you an idea... if the piece of agar is the size of a dime... when the growth looks like the size of a quarter i'm shaking if i havent done so alread. My first shake is usually maybe 3 days after knocking up the jar.
Once myc grabs onto a nice lil cluster of grains around the agar... shake. Then like 3 days later... shake it again. Your jars should finish faster.
So, just to be clear, would you say this is ready for a shake? And is this a violent shake or just like a, "hey get off of that agar and go somewhere else" kinda shake?

Just spread em out as evenly as possible.
I shake it to break it, then roll it like a cement mixer

Yeah, shake and break that mofo. The more colonized grain you can get to seperate the better.

It also helps to do one transfer at a time and break in-between to assess what could have gone better
Video is up. Critique My Technique Tomorrow I'll add a video of taking agar to grain.

I confess: awhile back I and a few others were lucky enough to take advantage of a misprice on a box of petri dishes. Like $24 for 872 plates lol 
but they are all split plates, and I keep having to fight the urge to order more regular plates
I just love the pics of regular plates vs my split ones

Wow, for that price I wouldn't even care! I've been using nickel-quarter sized transfers for my master jars and also been trying to pin down a large contam rate. If one half of that contaminated, I'd just transfer the other side and throw the plate out. I confess that you've got me wondering whether or not I even want to use regular plates now.
