I MADE THE HOLES TO SMALL!!

Ok so today i attempted inoculating my first pressure cooked 250ml jars full of BRF goodness. So i get my jars out of the pressure cooker, flame my spore syringe and try to stick the syringe into the holes on top of the jar, only to realize that i made the DAMNED HOLES TO SMALL!! So I lysol'd my bathroom to death, cleaned a nail with alcohol and went to work. I opened the jars one by one and covered them with tin foil right away. I then proceeded to make the holes bigger with the disinfected nail and re-cover the jars putting the lids on and then the foil on the lids and putting the jars back in my glovebox. After that I inoculated inside the glovebox. The jars are now in the incubator. Am I screwed?

its hard to tell i wouldn worrie too much your sterility sounds ok ive had many holes close up on me i think its the heat from the pc causes the metal to expand slightly ive never had any problems yet so you should be fine the only thing i would say is not to work in the bathroom its just a thing i wouldn do i think of the bacteria that could be living in the cleanest of bathrooms but thats my opinion GD

If you used a dry verm barrier, you can remove the lid anytime you need to. It's only there to restrict evaporation of the moisture from the substrate. RR

No. That's the job of the verm filter. RR

I think what RR means is that the lid is only there to restrict evaporation from the substrate so it doesn’t matter if you remove it temporarily.
