Re: Glass Jars for chemicals
Q-stores has a good supply of amber glass bottles with white screw lids. Perhaps a goggle in WA may help you a little more.

Re: Dishwashers
While shopping for a dishwasher for home yesterday. I did notice, NO more spikes, they are now rounded over, two spikes and the top rounded over. Like a loop. Hope you can understand what I mean. So please check yours has spikes, or the smaller test tubes will not fit on.

Re: LSL
Well done Richard, I learn more and more as each day goes by. It may not always be in Science, but rights at work. What a big help this site has turned out to be. From what I do understand, if we SAO's take 9 days off, no one will replace us, but if we take 11 days or more off. If they can find some...

Re: What Do You Tell People?
I also would be most interested, in how it works. Our G.A.'s do not get the same holidays as us SAO's in NSW. Perhaps it works a little like that.
G.A. = General Assisants or Handy man.

On the Monday morning, rub with the rubbing alcohol, and finish off with a warm wash. Not a cold wash, or the whole thing may set. I ha...
