Alcohol in Substrate Bag

Alcohol in Substrate Bag
Before inoculating a filter bag, a small amount of alcohol got in through the filter patch. (As I was spraying the bag down, the top of the spray bottle came loose and alcohol spilled in).
Have I completely killed the bag and any spores I inject, or is there a way to salvage it?

Should be ok how much really go into the bag though? Just keep an eye on it nothing you can really do at this point! Next time spray a PT and wipe the bag down lol.

Good idea for next time lol, I would say about 1/8 to 1/4 of the patch got visibly wet, I moved the bottle out of the way ASAP.

No body knows dude. It's probably fine - I don't think it went THROUGH the patch.

It's fine. I've sprayed my tubs with iso multiple times. They don't miss a beat.

A little bit did get through, I saw it run down the bag. But everyone seems to think it’s not too big of a deal overall so that’s really good news.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate and mention that alcohol is not sterile. This is why people get contams when going from flame sterilizing then wiping with iso.
I'd hope you're bag is good too but the more you know. 🌠

I wouldn't say its the alcohol that isn't sterile but rather the paper towel or what ever you soak with alcohol.

If that’s the case, then alcohol falling into the bag directly from the bottle should not introduce contaminants?
