Re: Lab glassware
Hobbyst, that is a very pertinent question. There is nothing on the items except graduations. My real glassware is still packed, this stuff was just for mixing room temp pest poisons, with an eye to the use in the lab, but I would think it very unwise to mix them up, unless they pass a heating test....

Re: Lab glassware
Must be the OP, I'll check that out. Oliver is making me suffer. The lab had to have some minor changes, epoxy floor instead of lvt planks. What I didn't foresee was the floor slopping so much that the office chair is like a roller coaster. Might need speed bumps! At Michaels I bought 3 sizes of gra...

R R R R ! It's also my sinaversary. To the left of the topic title is a box with a circle surrounding a little book, it, I think, is a status indicator of the read status of the post.

Michaels, the craft store, has dozens of mad scientist items. Graduated cylinders, glass syringes, beakers, flasks, etc, and they are glass! Halloween decorations.

Well, it's September 2018, and it looks like I just experienced the error. I'm sure my post
was ok, so I'll repost it. Hopefully a moderator can pm me if I'm doing something wrong.

I would not go back to that resteraunt, I got mild food poisoning from bad fish. Probably cause removing sand from Haw...

No wiki, oops that’s Hawaiian, I mean no hurry. I did not collect much, only a few cups, as it is a
semi-private and sacred beach. There should be alot of olivine in it.

You, sir, are no.1, and never to be forgotten. Every time I go in my closet I stumble over 3 huge scopes, and I mutter something about that Lorez!!!

Sorry to hear that, Rodney, I lucked out. Got the filter material, and a cool mount, and all
assembled in time for great pictures. Early morning fog burned off for a sunny Sequim

Good job, thanks Rod. My lawn sprinkler installer just told me all I needed was a welders visor,
me thinks he has sniffed too much pvc glue!
Well, UPS just delivered the scope, a week early. Bring on the moon.

Those are glasses, and would not arrive til after the event. Daystar makes a 50mm
for $22, best price I've found. If this Canadian smoke gets any worse I won't need
a filter. (just kidding)

Rodger, Charlie, and that is a good site. There are a few stores that carry the uber-expensive
spotter scopes, so I can see what 60x does
It was very interesting reading the features list for some of the tely's, strangely
resembled the hyped up lists aimed at the numbers only shoppers.
