I was hoping to borrow a high-powered UV lamp from work, but apparently, they don'd just lend out lab equipment anymore! And I thought universities were supposed to encourage curiosity & experimentation...

Re: What's on your work bench?
Been waiting for the wife and baby to get out of the house so I can spray nitro and fill the house with toxic fumes.
The instant they leave the house, it starts pouring with rain. Humidity 99%. Dehumidifier can only do so much.
Oh well. Guess Isobel's young lungs will just have to deal with some nitro next week.
