I almost had a meltdown. After following Cathie's frustrated email, i thought I'd use wax paper.
Trying to measure my dye, I placed a piece of wax paper on my scale and tared it. Then i added my dye. Back and forth, back into the jar, trying to get just the right amount. Finally got my 1g number, yeah, picked up the wax paper folded to stream into flash, and dropped the @#$%#$ thing.Thank goodness the dye was in big pellets -
So had to figure out how to measure dry dye and successfully get into the flask. So i did what you all problably already knew what to do. I took a dry measure cup, tared it on my scalel, added the dye, then made a paper cone and put that in my flask, THEN i poured the dye down the neck of the flask without spilling. This is really silly, but I wish I had know how to do this prior to starting.
