Tricks of the trade

Good call…here is a little more detail.

  • Qaulity glassware shouldn’t require vacuum grease.

  • cleaning with a good sprayer makes things a bit easier. The nozzle can go further in the glassware. Setting on spray/mist by inserting in the neck of the flask washes of the sides.

  • Avoid sonicating glassware. Over time it will weaken the glass.

  • Wrap a stir bar in a scrubby and put on stir plate to get off nasty tar.
