Re: HELP

Hi Rosaliel,
We use Paraffin wax pellets (beaded) from Chem-Supply PT200-500G, the pellets fit nicely in the wells of the conductivity stars. I scrape the wax of the wells after they have been used so that they are clean for the next class.

Re: Oil for separation and rusting pracs

After I take the tap off, I soak the separating funnel in warm water with either Palmolive dishwashing liquid or any liquid hand wash (the latter seems to work quite well, maybe not perfect), rinse it, let it dry and put it away. I also try to use the same ones for future oil separation pracs. The r...

Re: Potassium Permanganate crystals

Hi,
Funny, I used Potassium permanganate before to heal gold fish in the fish tank when they looked sick, and it worked. I don't have them anymore, they died of old age.

chemwatch labelling

Hi everyone,
Does anyone else have problems getting labels from Chemwatch today? I can only get to a narrow box called 'label templates'. I tried to do it the way I always do, but I seem to get nowhere. Gold an mini SDS work alright. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you, Ines
