I have found something out, every thing on here I have seen when you do it with aluminum foil says once you rub it down with alcohol let it dry. No don't let it dry, let it evaporate a tiny bit to where when you hold it at an angle looking down the aluminum foil you should see swirls of alcohol. That is what you want, it helps the print stick alot better. I did it with a shot glass with alcohol rubbed in it, one time I picked up the shot glass and put it down really fast for air exchange. Let my prints set for 36 hours. Threw away the caps 2 we dont want to be tasting rubbing alcohol now do we?
This worked for me so it should work for you. Also I keep my spore print on a shelf.
If you are having any trouble do this!
BTW watch an inconvenient truth, its a scary ass movie about global warming

If u find that u get a contam and u suspect that its the spore print, all is not lost, u can use agar in petri dishes and still get a clean sample.
Grow out from spores on agar in petri dishes, if a contam shows up, transfer a clean sample to another petri dish, repeat until you have left the contams behind.
This also has the advantage that you can also isolate mycelium that shows good charecteristics.
Something i wouldnt mind having a play around with at some point. Agar can be a really usefull tool not just for cleaning up.
Start an LC from ur nice sample or an transfer to grain.

I thought the alcohol would have killed the spores.Have you tried using them yet?I plan on printing and isolating real soon.If alcohol eliminates contams without killing or weakining the spores thats a great find.
-------------------- "There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby, and invisible. And there it is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me." The Mazatec Wise Woman, Maria Sabina (1894-1985)

I dont think alcohol kills spores, as far as i know it just sanitizes, what ever that means, im guessing it just wipes the contams away???
The alcohol evaporates pretty quick anyway, If it did kill spores then it wouldnt have killed them all.
