making syringes without a glovebox

Does anyone have success when making syringes without a glovebox?
I do want to make a glovebox one day but I am too busy at the moment. I made a successful PESA syringe off of a print that I made from my first grow but I figured i just got lucky.
I do it in the bathroom, I spray the hell out of the countertops and air with disinfectant and close the door. Then after a few minutes I enter with isopropyl alcohol cleaned hands up to my elbows and have the print and a syringe with sterile water in it. I hold the print over a sterile plastic cup and spray the spores off the foil print into the glass with water from the syringe. I find this is the easiest way to get the spores off there without using a loop. I nocced up a jar of WBS and it is bight white mycelium growing nicely!

Stick your gloved hands and jars/syringes deep into a clear trash bag, for an instant cheap glovebox. RR

I do want to make a glovebox one day but I am too busy at the moment.
It's very quick and easy to make a still air box like in RR video. Buy a large enough clear tub and using a six inch hole saw(the type one puts on a drill) cut two holes in the side. The objective is to stop the movement of air and contams. Very easy and should only take about 5 Min's.
The way you do yours is fine,as long as you spray the shit out of the air. I would spay your cloths also to eliminate any contams on them.

You might wanna check this out for making future syringes. I found this method works really good. Just be quick as possible when transferring the cap in and out of the jar and you should have a really good success rate.

i am gonna not worry so much, i was testing my syringes on agar plates but those I found out were getting contamed, not from the syringes but from the agar getting air contams when i opened the dish without a glovebox.

The so-called oven tek was discredited years ago. It increases contamination risk by increasing drafts. That warm draft has to come from somewhere, and where it comes from is full of mold and bacteria. RR

I used the oven tek a few times, i had 1 succesfull run of about 4 jars, the rest i had about a 90% contamination rate.
I had better success in open air.
And now i use a glovebox, which took 5 minutes to make and cost me nothing as i had a big clear plastic container just lying around.

if you use a trashbag, make sure you don't do the thing where you fill it with air to get it unfolded
otherwise you might as well do it in open air :-P

I used to have good luck by washing out a shot glass with alcohol and making sure it was completely dry. scraping some spores into the glass and squirting 1/8th cc of the syringe in there and sucking it back up. The faster the better. Now I just use sandwich bags, sort of like what double r said but on the small scale
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
