Bring 1/3 of the needle to red glow in a alcohol lamp flame. Even if there aren?t any clumps, there are enough spores in the syringe.

it sounds as if you're doing this ghetto style and may not have an alcohol lamp, bring the needle to the stove and place it wither in the flam (gas) or directly to the burner (electric) and let the needle get red hot, allow to air cool, go on from there. forget about the alcohol.

If you have some 70% then you can use that to make a lamp... just get a little glass jar or something that dont burn and u can use a rag or cotton rope or anything for the wick(something that do burn and will soak up the alchol quickly. When sterilizing i always use a homemade lamp and then cool it off with tissue soaked with alchol. havent had comtams yet. i dont think you will have a prob.

PF's syringes aren't densly packed with spores, but they don't need to be. They work just fine as they are. All you need is a few spores to germinate per jar, not hundreds. I think that a darkly spored syringe is just a waste of spores.
I can see a world where this is no poverty and no war, I can also see us attacking that world because they would never expect it.
