Making my own spore syringe. Need help?! Please

[Karl in Wonderland]

Alright so the jist of it, I live in a town where mushrooms come and go so I'm gonna start growing them to provide enough for my house of 6. Anyways, I aquired a print of P.E. Spores from a good friend of mine a few months ago and am finally getting around to it. I bought some insulin syringes but someone I know who Has grown them says the needles on these are to small for the spores to flow through, on the package they say

1cc/ml for 100 units or less
8mm (5/16") length needle
31 gauge needle

I need to know what size needle I need to get or if mine are fine. I would greatly appreciate a quick reply, I found this out a little to late and I already have grain sterilizing and my totes set up and would like not to risk contamination. Thank you

You need 18 gauge needle tips attached to a 10cc barrel. An insulin syringe will not work for what you're trying to do. Do you know how to make a spore syringe from a print, or do you need that answered too?

Thank you very much, you saved me going out and buying like 10 kinds to figure it out. But no, i know how to make the syringe. I've been instructed through it before and I have read many teks, guides, ect

Yes about the gauge of the needle, I believe it's 18 gauge that is best. It's about the thickness of a chopstick.
