And don't forget -- the liquid inside the cylinder will form a curved

surface, and you read the bottom of the curve.

I'm slowly switching over to standardized glass droppers as per the

advice of a professional perfumer. Yes, replace the rubber as needed.

That's what the lab people do. When you order your glass droppers, you

go by the *outside* of the dropper tip, eg.

Hold the dropper, do not squeeze, let the drop fall.

I just wanted to thank those who responded to my post! I had asked the

question on another group and no one ever responded...can't tell you

the last time I visited that group

 

I just want to say that this group is amazing! Everyone here is so

willing to share their knowledge and we all seem like family! And I

even got a kick out of the sibling rivalry between Butch and Marcia.

 

Speaking of Butch, I don't know if this is allowed so feel free to edit

my post:

 

I received my first batch of oils from Butch and...WOW! The oregano

(vulgare) is amazing! I actually spilled a few drops on my finger and

within 2 minutes was TASTING it! Not so worried 'bout the flu this

year!!!

 

Thanks again everyone. Warm regards and continue to be,

 

Lori

I read this and pulled out my oregano oil and was *this close* to

having a drop on my wrist, when I remembered the exhortations of

various folks here not to ever do such a thing with any undiluted oil

;-)
