thinned down? with solvent? you might need one of those... cheap, disposable (if you want to clean and re-use... might be Ok depend upon the solvent you use). low volume -assume you have good mixture. cute little gadget. http://www.stonybrooksci.com/products/productsportabledisposableviscometer.htm if you like it, send over Mountain dew after you evaluated. ;-). jk > Good afternoon all, > > I have a silly question.
