viziers Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 So i've been looking for scoops,spoons & other various utensils for my chems and came across this.. Anyone see any pros or cone to these, or can you recommend something else? http://www.sciencelab.com/page/S/PVAR/10610/60-367210005 vizi
nater Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Are you wanting increment scoops to have the same volume each time? Or just something to to help weight chems? Those certainly look like they would work to keep increments the same when loading rockets and gerbs. Others use reloading scoops or make their own from brass end caps and rods. Kitchen measuring spoons also work. For times that don't require a consistent volume, I just use plastic picnic spoons.
taiwanluthiers Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I just use a long handled teaspoon, works to get at those really deep bottles...
roketman21 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 This is what me and my brother use they work well for consistency.http://www.beartoothbullets.com/images/tech_photos/APix-22-Lee-Powder-Dippers.jpg

I need them mostly just for scooping from the bag that is inside the plastic bucket it came in. Been looking at the Stainless Steel kitchen measuring scoops for when I need small amounts of chems... vizi

Is just washing the the plastics ones with soap and water ok to keep cross contaminations at bay (my biggest fear)??? vizi
roketman21 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 We use them over and over. Im not positive but I'm sure a good hot soapy wash would clean them good enough. Also there fairly cheap about 17$ a set we got ours on ebay for about 15$.
Dean411 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Go to Sam's club and pick up a box of 800 spoons for 10 bucks. I also use the scoops from miracle grow for consistant volume.
MetalNeko Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Here's my favorite way to make cheap disposable scoops for weighing small amounts of chems or loading tubes/detonators: http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m627/MetalNekomata/scoop_zps7077978e.pngThe best part about these, is that you can use adjust the size by using different sized pencils/pens/glue sticks/dowels or anything else kicking around the house.

Potassiumchlorate Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I use cheap wooden spoons costing about €1.3 for 25 pcs
dagabu Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Every scoop I have tried has caked when dipping whistle fuel so I went to aluminum spoons by Thunder Group. They can be struck off so you get the exact measurement every time and do not cake even with sticky comps. -dag
