I'm about to park some 74 floorplates and so far I have all of the supplies except I need something that measures liquid in 1 ounce increments that can withstand phosphoric acid. I have a glass measuring cup but it only goes in 4 ounce increments. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would like to pick it up locally if possible. I have a Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, etc. and my disposal. Thanks for the help. |

If you have a scale you could put your cup on there and fill it up with 4oz's then divide the weight by 4 and pour it back in the bottle until you get the weight for one ounce. You would want to zero the scale out after putting the cup on it of course. Or... you could use two tablespoons of phosphoric acid. I just did a quick search for a conversion between the two and it's .5 oz per tablespoon. |
This is exactly what I did after I did a little more research. Thanks for your help. |

Since you probably want to measure the phosphoric acid BY VOLUME, you can use a small plastic cup that comes with some cough syrups and children’s versions of liquid medicines. After using up the medicine you have a free measure that will last for years. They are usually marked in both milliliters and fluid ounces. |
Thanks. I'm good to go. I went and purchased a stainless tablespoon measuring cup which equates to 0.5 oz. I now have four newly parked (zinc) Russian 74 floorplates that are waiting for a coat of Moly Resin sometime this week. |
