Not to panic. Check with your card company. Several have system which
generates a one-time-use-only card number. Paypal is very secure since
no one ever really sees your data.

Thanks but it's not worth the hassle. I'd rather call and speak to a human
when I order something.

I use a small digital postal scale, but before that used a weight watchers
scale. Just went and measured in a measuring cup and 500 grams of sodium
thiosulfate is almost exactly 2 cups.

Use 500 grams per gallon of
water and it will treat about 20,000 gallons of pond water.
=================
How do I measure grams without a gram scale? Using a tsp. would not be
accurate because of the density/weight of different substances.

Well, in one sense I agree since I handle all the sales off my
website, but on the other hand, how do you normally get to a real
person??

Thanks Rich. :-) I think we do have an old postal scale in the back
office.

## Just like I did now. I ask on the NG or a Board. Someone always has a
phone number. If a company can't be bothered to TALK to me in person then
they don't need/want my business. Some places don't want to have to deal
with people or problems they may have with their products - they can go to
hell. :-)

actually it is preferred to fill a large tub with a known amount of water and then
use 1/8 teaspoons to work out what is actually needed for neutralization. I then
double that amount. sodium thio is safe at 10X the needed dose. Ingrid
