Hi Joe. If you buy the beer?.. I'll gladly come piss on your heads for ya.

And if you want to reduce flash rusting?.. make it a big bottle of Jack and there should be enough residual alcohol in it to help matters there too. :lol:

I don't know what the above post about raindrops are about. I use antifreeze in glass, it lubricates the petcock too. I wonder how many people use cheap ass plastic crap when it can be off as much as 10cc per 100cc burette. #-o

Water and dish soap.
Just do your damedest to have the room temp the same when doing repeated pours!
Remember water is one of the only fluids that gets lighter as it gets colder!

Glass burette (50cc for motorcycle work) and use Vasoline as lube for petcock. H2O with a only a drop of dishwashing liquid premixed. Once job is completed use a small amount of alcohol to remove traces of water. Petcock hole will remain clean. Windshield washer fluid leaves a residual that clogs the petcock.

As rare as that is, it's got to be expensive as hell.

4 pages?
