Australia's Science Forum

I just got into chemwatch, but it says there is only 3 days left

I just saw them in Prof Bunsen catalog $4.80. Spiders too $6.50.

Great!
Looking forward to it

Aaaaahhhhh!!
I think I've created a monster topic!!

That sounds like a great plan, Debbie, and I may well do that anyway. Unfortunately the corks will not be the ones I want, but what the heck?

Thanks for that, but we have a huge number of these disgusting, decaying things that I really do NOT want to open!! Most have been here much longer than my nearly 20 years so their contents are often unidentifiable.

I am only responsible for the Science chemicals. Everyone else has to do their own, but they do it manually and only the TAS people have access to chemwatch. They don't do their register there, and neither do I. I just use a spreadsheet, which has never been questioned. I use Chemwatch to get safety...

I really want to get rid of all of ours! I hate them, they are old and take up space in storage, and we never use them. Unfortunately most are not labelled with what they contain. Any that I made myself are done with 50% metho solution and labelled accordingly, but the older ones are probably formal...

I have received confirmation of my workshops at the conference! Thanks heaps to the organisers.
Now I'm excited

Thank you, everybody, for your replies. I will probably try the brewing shops as they seem to be the cheapest. And some even have the tapered corks, which is what I am after.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Having trouble sourcing old fashioned cork stoppers. I've always had a big stash of them on hand, but lately we've been using them and can't find where to buy more.
Any ideas?

These struggles should not drive people away, Liz. They are part of what makes you the wonderful person that you are.

Some of us did Cert III online through Armidale TAFE. 3 semesters, with 2 weekend workshops at Armidale University per semester. The weekends were full-on and we had to pay for accommodation, but got the Certificate at the end of it - and it didn't cost anywhere near $6000 - OMG!!

We still do it, in the fume cupboard, and it is mentioned in CSIS that it can be done on a very small scale by senior students, even though the acid has a red dot.

Nanoo nanoo!!

My choices are made and ready to send off. They would not DARE to refuse my application!

There are some recipes on the forum, Labbie. Do a search for "slime borax"

I just sent an email to CG3, as suggested in the message that comes up when you open CG3. This is the reply I received: Hi Judy As your school is part of the NSW Education Department you will be informed by your Education Board regarding the upgrade, which they are managing. In the meantime, please ...
