Mixing My Own Chemistry

[tgtaylor]

I keep a few old yogurt cups for weighing chemicals. The plastic is inert and is easily washed for re-use. The only exception is when I weigh out Catechol for mixing Pyrocat - that cup retains the chemical’s odor so goes into the recycle bin.

I use little plastic salsa cups https://www.webstaurantstore.com/cho...ck/999P2C.html that I got from a local El Pollo Loco for measuring out small mass of chemistry. For larger mass I use the measuring tub that came with my Ohaus digital scale. The salsa cups are tough and rinse easily. I've been using the 10 or so that I have for about 15 years now.
