My advice...... Build Glove Box, Disinfect inside of Glove Box, Put ALL MATERIALS in Glove box,(assuming those materials have been sterilized to the best of your ability and you have already bathed and wearing sterile gloves), Carefully commence with inoculation being careful between jars, after inoculation quickly place jars in a sterlite storage container with the lid on, PLACE IT IN YOUR CLOSET and don't look at it for about 3-5 days. After waiting 3-5 agonizing days take a peek and see how well you did.
Oh, during those 3-5 agonizing days watch this video about 10 times from beginning to end! http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=3286686859329905674 You will thank me later, (I promise!) Hope this helps.

If you make your lids correctly, and flame sterilize OR alcohol, notice I didnt say BOTH, in a glove box or still air box as some say, you should get just about zero contams no matter what room you are in, or what the ventilation is like.
I live in a house with two crazy outdoor dogs, three people, all carpet, and tons of mold spores in my area, and I rarely if ever contam anymore. Just get to the bottom of why you contam each time, and you will get great results.
I have NEVER used lysol or oust, and have never contamed more than one out of 40 or so jars. It is not needed, and you need to remember you are working in a non ventilated area most of the time. Why on earth would you use a harmful aresol?
I do have to add just for accuracy reasons that my glove box is also a positive pressure box, with a micron filtered intake. This allows me to pump micron filtered air in while I place items in the box or remove items. Then the intake is closed, and air pump turned off before actually working in he box. This could account for some of my good luck, but I would have to think it isnt needed.
Just my thoughts

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm starting to like the idea of a glove box more and more.. Seems easy enough to build one and make it air tight..

seems like just yesterday that I was working in this terribly confining YET INDISPENSABLE contraption.  I love my Glove Box.... Brings tears to my eyes.

As direct heat is bad.. I'd say that a heating pad wouldn't be a good idea. An indirect light source would probably be enough.
