Somehow they have implanted a chip
 

I was doing some Cerakote work today when I broke my last graduated pipette tip. These are used for adding catalyst. Normally get them on Amazon but wanted to see if I could get one locally (no idea who would have one locally) and typed into Google "gradu" which immediately autofilled to "graduated pipette" as the first option.

HTF does that happen.

Google search tailored for you. Somewhere in the Internet the information about you previously bought some from Amazon is stored.

It's like when you Google Por-15 and they add an "N". I'm like Austin Powers, going "that's not my bag, Bay-Bay".

Your Cerakote work is well known here in the internet.

My google search: 3 matches out of 4 suggestions.

Do you have an Android phone too?

"Big Data" is about using data from multiple sources--IP addresses, phones, g-mail, Google+, Streetview, and applying some statistics to line up all of the information about you, then selling it to advertisers, and anyone else willing to pay for it.

:D:D:D:rolleyes::cool::D

Are they the plastic tips that go onto your pippetor? let me know the size, I have a *****load of those I got from Rosewood after it was canceled you can have.

Looks like this...

I also have some of the glass long 12-18" with graduations on the side. SmileWavy

If you use Gmail they also read it for figuring out your search results.

Hey Craig, thanks, no they are all glass 10ml pipettes with a separate bulb. I really should get disposable syringes which would be better for drawing up a more exact amount of catalyst.

Well that's nice to hear, thanks. It is fantastic stuff to work with.

you probably posted somewhere, or emailed or had a chat with a friend somewhere before that.
And discussed, "dagnabbit, just broke my xxx, now i have to buy a new one"

That's all google needs

I walked into the local convenience store one morning to get a pack of smokes. Pondering breakfast, the flat roller type hot dog grill to my left at a distance of about 6 feet away caught my eye. As I looked and pondered convenience store hotdogs for breakfast, the unthinkable happened.

A freaking hot dog rolled off the grill, flopped to the floor and rolled towards me.:eek:

And if that wasn't enough, a few seconds later another one did the exact same thing.:eek::eek:

I told the clerk "ahh, the Google Mind Control App V. 2.56 is out!"

She killed my freak out when she said somebody loaded the grill incorrectly and put the larger diameter sausages behind the dogs. Apparently the sausages gain traction and onto the floor go the dogs. Wasn't the first time it had happened. :D

How many ml of catalyst are you drawing up at a time? 1, 3, 5 and 10 are common sizes of syringes, some come with a fairly large gauge needle to draw stuff up already on them. I have literally hundreds and hundreds that I picked up when they were on sale. How reactive is the catalyst, does it have to be in glass? Not sure what syringes are made of, polypropylene maybe. Latex free is de rigueur nowadays,

Syringe might be a prescription item.

yesterday was 4.29ml, most jobs are 4.XX to 12.XXml. Obviously that's +- .1ml using the glass but 1ml on smaller jobs can make a real difference in the sheen level. been working on getting the right color for early magnesium that was etched at the factory. Have 4 hours into color mix testing this fan and housing and I'm sure because of my broken tip pipette it turned out too satin, big bubble ran through while squirting in. Color is perfect but it's too dull. frustrating

Catalyst comes in basic poly bottle, I don't think it's reactive at all.

Found all kinds of syringes on Amazon but need to do a thorough search to find ones that are very clear in their markings, whether glass that I clean with acetone each time or disposable plastic.

The 1 ml syringes are the only ones that I have seen that are marked such that you could get close to x.xx ml accuracy. In the example you gave, that means you would have to draw up 5 separate portions, which introduces more potential for error. Larger syringes have tenth of an ml markings that would allow for a fairly large chance to be off a bit.

Thanks. I guess the key is to err on the side you want, matte, satin, gloss. But it really was the bubble in this case I'm sure.

Glass syringes went out with doctors coming to your house to treat your consumption. Syringes are considered single use, unless you are a junkie.

They should have photos of the product, acetone is likely to remove the markings. 3 ml syringe I just looked at has tenth of an ml graduations, marks about a mm or so apart. 1 ml has 0.01 markings

I will get one at CVS and see how it works.

I have a box of 100 ea of these you can have if you can use them....

Those would be tough to be accurate pulling up 4.29 ml though, halfway between marks. I don't know how accurate it has to be though. I bet I have 500 or 600 3 ml syringes in a closet at the house.

Unless someone has signed a written legal agreement in plain language to be tracked and stalked by Google...it should be considered cyber-stalking.

Suppose you have an underage daughter for example:
Someone hacks all her accounts.
Oh let's say Google hacks her accounts.
Legally.
Because they legally hack everyone's account. Right now.
They know who she talks to, and when, and everything she said.
They know where she is located at any time, and who she is with at any given moment of the day.
They have all the info.

They can remotely-activate her phone camera or her microphone.
They already know her daily habits.

They know when she is most alone and most vulnerable.

Look her up and anyone can track her.
They share that info.
Gleefully.
Everything should be public information except when it come to the fapenning.
Like some random wall-eyed naked street corner wanker wearing a rubber raincoat cross the street from a girls school.

Condoned by the street cop? Or the senator?
Yes!

This corporate stalking exception is still legal...somehow.

^^^^ I'm sure their legal department has all of that covered.

What are you agreeing to when you click that button setting up your new phone? Does anyone read it in its entirety before clicking accept?

maybe a digital pippetor would be more practical..

Thanks Craig, I just got one similar to these at CVS. I will try it out tomorrow and see how it works.

I just looked at the Cerakote web site and all they have is the original wide syringe that is marked off in .1ml increments. I've used it and didn't like it. I have liked the long narrow glass pipette, also in .1 increments so I may just get a bunch more of those.

What I would love is a graduate burette and may look into one of those.

More tomorrow. Have to do the mesh, rivets and bars for a 70 grille.

That is sexy. I'll have to read up on these.

I will take you up on your offer Craig! Been working/having fun all weekend, used the $3 one from CVS a few times, it works great. Is it extremely accurate? No. But I think erring to the side of matte or gloss I am going for will work well and honestly, only important in doing black. Versions of magnesium are just grey and I also want to make them glossy as possible since they are standard matte-satin paint so I just push the catalyst in that direction.

Think I've got the right blacks for door handles and early grilles (screws are just for holding things in place until I can rivet one by one.

If you get a GMAIL account Google's agreement gives them the okay to read all of your incoming and outgoing emails. They do the same thing if you use the DNS servers. 8.8.8.8. They do the same thing with the Google search engine.

All in the name of better targeting your searches and selling better targeted advertising.

Thank you Craig, X2!

Have you thought about measuring by weight?

I recently got some touch up paint for my car and the girl in the shop went by a formula based on weight.
Worked well because it's almost a perfect match and she only mixed up 50ml. (1.7 oz)

That's a good idea too Peter.

The first hit for graduated pipette is purple. Does that mean you have searched for graduated pipettes before?

A long time ago, yes.

Big thanks to Craig, got the box of syringes today, just time for doing some work this weekend.

Thank you Craig, you are definitely part of what makes this board so great!

Late to the game...

We used them to dose medicine for small animals, they are scaled to 0.01ml, have a surprisingly large opening (easy to slurp up medicine, even slightly thick/sticky stuff) and the plunger has a finger that clears the tip for a full dose. As long as the catalyst is thinner than, say, snot :) it should work.

I might have some laying around still, but we last bought them in mid-2014, it's likely that they got tossed when the last pet died.


Honestly though, I would use a scale for your measurements, not some syringe. Get a 0.01g scale like the drug users have, and go to town.
We use this one for cheesemaking:

Glad I could help out Shaun! The heroin thing wasn't working for me anyways! :D

Who needs heroin when you have a 911? :)

Thanks again Craig!
