Yes, micropore tape will keep out contams. Be patient. That's the first thing everyone needs to learn to succeed/excel at this hobby. It took me 3 tries just to get something to take to my WBS.

coffee filters are just that, they only filter coffee. no place in mycology at all.  https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12543108
This is true, but if you keep a clean house and not a 100 year old mold fest like 13, Polyfill, Tyvek and even coffee filters give peace of mind where contamination is much less a factor.

dude, I answered you that already in the Q & A thread. you still havent giving them time to recover yet. if you go dunking them now they will need even more time. be patient and wait. 
Some things to do while you wait be like and get like this You could while watching You could be in the next sex scandal video  Or you could steal this kid's fish!
Also I cannot stress enough... there is no absolute rulebook in regard to all this, I have not been growing long (4 mo) and I have plenty of oddball results. Knock on wood I have not yet had a failure except (I believe) I got a dead syringe.

Coffee filters don't filter anything but coffee & water. Get micro pore tape, polyfill or synthetic filter disks. Also, a cheap alternative to filter disks, is "Easy Felt" you can find it at your local hobby store/mega store. PS. DON'T USE COFFEE FILTERS FOR GE!

Like I said, if you have a generally clean space the added protection is somewhat redundant, all it will do is supply peace of mind...
Since I keep my growing space clean I do not worry so much about contams and so far (again knock on wood) it has never been an issue...

What is the volume of spawn in the mad bags? (I have done a range of volumes in them)
What spawn ratio do you want to use?
These answers added will tell you the total volume you need.
Good luck,

Um, actually I live in the United States and the spores are legal to possess, sell, and buy. It is the chemical psilocybin that is illegal to possess sell or buy. All Spore companies on the net sell to the United States. So therefore there should be no banning for this.
Check your legal references again, buddy. Some states, Utah I think is one, it's illegal to possess cube spores.

save the penis envy for when you got everything down and you know what to expect with cubensis, PE takes longer most of the time, so for an anxious first grow it would suck waiting longer and wondering if its messed up or something but the other 2 are good for anytime growing.
