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.

Do you have an Android phone too?

Looks like this...



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

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.

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.

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

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.

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
