Alcohol works as a SANITIZER (meaning it only gets things really clean, not sterile) because cells absorb the alcohol and then it quickly evaporates bursting them. The paper towel wasn't sterile to begin with and isn't sterile just because it's soaked in alcohol, plus it's organic. Contamination will be likely.

Open air inoculation works fine. You can get boxes of sterile alcohol wipes (basically like wet naps but with alcohol) at the pharmacy for a couple bucks those are an even better choice then an alcohol soaked paper towel which also works... or nothing at all. Just do your inoculations quickly.

Lc has lots of white and lots of the mycelium is clinging to the 2 peaces of towel in there.
I think I might knock up a test jar.

Sorry but totally wrong. Alcohol doesn't kill cells by quickly evaporating and bursting cells.
Alcohol works by denaturing (changing the shape to one that doesn't work) the proteins and breaking the cell membranes of contaminants.
As you have correctly said, Rubbing Alcohol is only a disinfectant not a sterilizer and is not effective against fungal or bacterial spores, so if any spores were present on the tissue, it could cause a problem.
