Wow, maybe I can remove those demons
Sorry to hear about those losses.
Yeah you have so much more lab experience than me that you would have a way better idea of what instruments would work better for different types of work and why. I was mostly talking about fantasy since that is about all I have had to work with lately with not enough money yet to start my "plan" of lab work. I just love how clean and clear and beautiful glass can be and how nice a finished product would look in different types of small glass containers with powerful substances in them.
Over the months I have found myself at different times wanting to save clear beer style bottles or even salsa bottles with the hopes of one day brewing some kind of work in them, even though when I do start working it will most likely be with a more sturdy borosilicate lab glass. I just like its ability to be so clean and clear and not contaminate what's in it.
But yeah fantasy and inspiration is about all I have been working with lately. I do have a some gold leaf and silver that I keep is separate small clear glass bottles that essential oil came in waiting for the time when I get back to alchemy work..
Nice to hear from you Nick. I e-mailed you a couple days ago, maybe you will have time to respond if you find it. Stay it touch brotha.
