looking to make a glove box to knock up the rest of my jars. I seen TomSawyers here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2925618/an/0/page/1 looks simple and easy. My ? is he says to make sure you have everyting in the box including the lysol before you seal. Now do you put all the jars, lighter and syrindge in there also and spray the lysol and wait 15 min? And if you do wont the flame ignite the fumes? does any 1 have a better link maybe i can follow i checked the boxs in the archives and couldnt find what i was looking for.

You don't need to seal up a glove box totally, and you don't need to use lysol. All you need is still air. A glovebox does not need to be sterile at all. Wash it with soap and water. Some guys use a bit of bleach in the wash water. If I've worked with contaminated cultures on the previous use, I also use bleach. Otherwise, I just use soap and water and leave the floor a bit damp. This will cause any contaminants that land there to stay there. Just cut your arm holes in the side and have a lid on, but you don't need to tape around the lid if you're using a clear rubbermaid type container. Wear latex gloves.
You can pull your arm out to flame the needle or leave it in, your choice. I flame on the outside because it keeps things cooler inside. RR

This is actually a world class mycologist taking cultures of cordyceps from a hotel room in China. His traveling glovebox is taped together so it can lay flat in a suitcase. In the spray bottle is bleach/water. You'll note his glovebox is far from totally sealed up, and he doesn't even (gasp) wear gloves. All you're trying to do with a glovebox is stop air drafts. RR

Damn, he must be. He's got mycelium totally covering his head! Maybe one of those magnet monster shrooms got to him!
Oh no... It's the beginning of the end!
