nice david. pennies in a pile.

i have used solder. heavy and can be made into
a gob. and it is easy to make a wire hanger.
i have used a digital scale to make my big gob
of solder.
(little postal scale, digital. never use it for
glaze work...good for packages however.)

as many know, i convert all my often used glazes
to pounds...and have a nice grocery scale for measure.
those are mostly in twenty five gallon lots.

grams times .0022 =3D pounds. round up/down the tenths.

i really only use the triple beam for test glazes.
