I'm a beginner trying out the PF-Tek method obviously and the guide says to use a drip shield, but then how would the cakes get sunlight? Should I make sure the plexi glass is totally transparent? Also I would like to know the best way to sterilize my terrarium. I read people talking about a glove box...WTF is that?

Spray alcohol. Wipe down. Spray white vinegar. Wipe down. Sterilized.
A glove box is a also called a still-air box. Seventy had one that he made on the super-cheap in his signature, but that is for inoculations, and grain-to-grain transfers, and agar work, and stuff where contamination is a big concern. Fully colonized cakes will tend not to contaminate right off the bat. Good luck.

what i do to sterilize the FC is to wash it out with washing up liquid rinse with water, make it bone dry. Then use a 10% v/v soultion of bleach and water, rinse again and make it bone dry. To dry i use a microfiber cloth really absorbent. Lastly clean with isoproyl (95-100%)and let dry.
The lid should allow light though ive used both transparent and frosted before both good but dont put them in direct sunlight. As for a drip shield its a good idea but not a must have item.
A glove box is a sealed box with two hole cut out of it, in these holes are gloves, again making the box sealed. This allows you to work in sealed off environment free of contaminants. Clean the glove box like above. (Do a google image search for glove box if you unsure)
