I use shotgun FCs all the time or RR style FC as I prefer to call them. I handle my cakes with my bare hands I don't pasturize the vermiculite prior to rolling the cakes and I never wash the cakes after the dunk oh and I never scrape off the dry vermiculite layer from the top of the cake. I have never ever once had a green mold problem on a brf cake in a RR FC. Here's a picture of how my cakes typically look.

no body gets cake contams in a shotgun fc unless they were already contammed.

contams com from no fae and stagnant water.
rr's fc counteracts that

people are wierd

You know, I always wondered the same thing about holes in the FC especially after all I have read on contams and how clean everything must be to prevent contams. Everything I have read has told me to wash down incubators & fruiting chambers real good and then wipe every inch with an alcohol rag and then set the cakes in the FC full of holes....well if it was full of holes wouldn't contams that just float around in the air just easily come in through those holes and land on the cakes??? I'm a 'newbie' so I don't know yet, but I got holes in my FC too (16) hopefully everything goes OK.:mushroom2:

Keep reading :smile:. Myc is pretty resistant to contams after it has colonized.
