Thank You!!! Using that link I found a scale that will measure 0.01 grams for about 50 bucks!

Avoiding that would be good...
> Great prices at that site. Thanks. Also, take a look at Beyond a Century: https://www2.acadia.net/cgi-bin/BAC/web_store.cgiMore good cheap stuff!
> Another alternative, if you're not too concerned about exact doses, is to do volumetric proportioning. Dump all the contents of your bulk purchase into a bowl, and spoon it out, counting number of spoons. Obviously, the more reproducibly you can do the spooning (exactly the same amount each time, and using e.g. an exact measure like a baking teaspoon measure), the better it is. So, say your 100 gram bag of bulk product X works out to 40 teaspoons. Then each teaspoon is 2.5 grams, and you mark that on the container.
That's a great idea but it won't work for me, I only have 10 fingers.
Thanks again.
