you could have found this with a search so easily cause i answered this question a day or 2 ago. but ill tell you how i do it. boil some water suck the water through the syringe. repeat a couple of times. the downsid eis you get your hands scalding hot. this way has worked for me 100%. there is another way with a pc but i dont know it, or care to know it. the downside of doing it wrong is a ruined syringe.

Hey Lemon has another another one but dont know why he dont mentio nit. Sucking alcohol in syringe.
Another method is put it empty with needle up in jar and PC it.

yeah i do the alcohol one to. but still do the boiling water. but i consider that overkill cause boiling water will get it. but if your like me you can do this. suck up some alcohol shoot it out, repeat as desired then do what i said above. im paranoid i guess from here on out i will add that part about the alcohol. even though its not neccesary cause mine have worked both ways.

well doing the alcohol thing is pointless because you need sterile water anyway so you might as well get a pan of boiling water going sterilize it, cool it off and use it to suck up spores.

safer is PC it, (hotter) and PC a jar wit hwater at the same time. After PC-ing let cool. Water which goes from 100C to 20C is sucking air in syringe. So when cool suck water in syringe through hole in lid of jar.

I pay 1? for 100CC I think. So water is much much cheaper ....
But if one only does it ocassionaly then why bother.
I wonder though bout the alcohol inside since it cannot dry there after u squirted it out, if the remaining drops can harm the sporewater.

When i made syringes i sucked 1CC of water in and microwaved it for 5 mins, i had 100% success with all jars innoc'd with those syringes. That boiling water method sounds easier, i think i will try that next time.
