I'll bet there fine. I used a blade once for almost a year straight with no issue do to the blade.
Only thjing that made it looks sketchy is when I'd cool my blade in my recieving plate it would spite carbon and sometimes rust flakes onto the plate.

Sorts like this





Hope so. I got it hot as I could handle. The top 60% got read but where the blade meets the handle not so much. But also I didn't use that part of the blade so maybe im just being negative. Think Ill go tell the plates how pretty they are and read em a bedtime story tonight.

Lol. It’s a fantasy. I really didn’t think it would work. I’m collecting stuff as I go. I’ll be doing bods tek. I’ve spent months reading through teks and have read every post in all of his easy af tek threads ....thousands. I can hardly wait for my 23 quart to arrive. I’ve got agar, media bottles, malt extract, a sab, Petri dishes, and jars, and oats. . I’ll be ordering syringes in Dec. Should have the complete agar setup when my 23 quart gets here Monday the 2nd I believe. The sterilite bins will be bought in January. I’m super excited

I got tough skin so I never noticed but my ex always used to complain about that with exacto's.  a proper scalpel with steel handle does the trick.

I confess, while working in my first glove box, I foolishly had a cup of alcohol and an alcohol burner inside it @ the same time. When it finally lit, I experienced a jet blast to the hairline from the crack of the lid. The grow went well though:cool:

please be safe! 

worst I ever had was way back when I said fuck a SAB and would bleach spray the inside of a mini JR barn and g2g in the open.  success was high but one time someone (crackhead) put h202 in an empty bleach jug under the sink.  when I refilled my sprayer and misted it was deathly.  my lungs hurt for days.  an thats a confession

Don’t blow yourself up. I once set a microwave on fire microwaving coir. This was back in 1999. Why the fuck was I microwaving coir? Good fucking question I can’t remember.

I confess that I completely forgot this tub. I discovered it after about 7-10 days of complete neglect. It was starting to dry out on the surface but it still had managed to push out a decent pinset. I misted the hell out of it and promised I'd be back the next day to check on it.

The idiot (me) was looking through the microwave door watching it boil.

Came to the conclusion that TODAY is definetively not a mycology day.

and today i almost burned myself doing sab work



Mycology is sort of an extreme sport dude, seriously

I confess I did some work without alcohol last night and felt like I was naked in church. Never again lol. And that was just pouring plates. No way would I make transfers without my spray bottle.
I also confess I spent the whole night in the emergency room with my kid (he is fine) my confession is I was digging through the cabinets to see if I could find anything good for myco work. All I got was some sterile swabs but made me feel better.

I waited for some agar to grow out and was impressed with the growth of 1 sector. I cut it into 3rds and was about to transfer all of them in 1 piece to the jar and dropped it inside my SAB. Luckily it fell on my alcohol soaked napkin covering the bottom...

I'm sure its toast but decided to try the .632 second rule and picked it up with my glove and tossed it in my jar. 

So basically.. I lost that sector and wasted a nice clean jar. DUMMY.

Its growing right now so I'll know soon enough.

I can tell you now, IT'S TOAST (this is not a recommendation to toss it: watch it, learn... FOR SCIENCE!!!)

Next time, split the next plate, or the next wedge in 2: only takes a microscopic bit of CLEAN culture... that said, only takes 2 contaminant spores...

You'd've done better trying to scoop it with your scalpel

I confess I spent thirteen bucks on a six pack because  there’s  a cat on the can.  And I’ll be having one of those beers later while doing myco work.  That’s my confession

I confess, I've been growing oyster on old cube subs for a couple months now... happy to report, ZERO trip reports! Utilization, and blues LOVE it mixed 50/50 to recycled blocks or fresh sawdust

The mix outperformed sawdust alone, old cube sub alone, and traditional master's mix in preliminary, secondary and tertiary tests... :shrug:
Unethical?
