tried that on my collection base & my solvent tank once upon a time. didn’t seem to be enough thermal contact. immersing them in the heat transfer fluid worked way better.

for just $8 you can scribe the tear weight on every mason jar in seconds. as i do more diamonds this has become incredibly helpful.

Someone did this last yr. Pressurized it or it was under vac and BOOM! Explosion. It made the glass weaker. One member posted it.

Making tape and a sharpie work better imo, like @Demontrich said, that weakens the glass.

you guys are right makes total sense. i slab and dish more than i jar. i’ve done lots of jars that way and so far no issue but better safe than sorry. still would be good for storage jars just not for jars you plan to ever pressurize. I always have done it in the concave bottom by the raised numbers.

I always wondered about that. Most engravers work like a carbide tipped tattoo gun, hammering the point many times a second like a little jackhammer. I would take an educated guess that a fine pointed bit on a rotary tool would be less stressful to glass than an engraver, but it’s still going to compromise the strength either way. Either method would probably make the glass weaker to thermal shock along with pressure. Still handy for glass not subjected to pressure or thermal shock. I like to keep all my tare weights in journal of sorts so I don’t have to worry about etching them on.

Adding 1g of vitamin C ( ascorbic acid form) per 40 gallons of tap water will neutralize ur chlorine and chloramine in 4-10 minutes.

If u have a mouse problem, go get some irish springs bar soap
Break it into chunks and put it infront of the fan or ontop of the dehu, any way to spread the smell.
You can make a warm soapy water mix and spray it into any crevices or places u cant reach that u suspect the mouse to be coming from.
For some reason mice hate this smell and luckily for us its not too obnoxious
Available at most stores, u want the really cheap ones lol they work the best. Two bars was enough to ward off mice in a 10x10x12 room
