Professor Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I own a chem lab and have a question, ok now in most chem labs they have a black acid proof paint on the table tops, i need to know where to get that paint and any other information about it. In my chem lab i have many wood cabnits that are very nice and are made for chem labs, i have 2 green glass sliding door chemical cabnits, and all that stuff but when i made a table to go in there i wanted it to match the black table tops, and be asid proof, but i couldnt find any information about the paint so can you help me? p.s. does anyone else have a chem lab of there own? if so tell me about it.

YT2095 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hammerite would work just as well and it`s cheaper. I have a general lab, I do chem in there too and I don`t worry about acid burns etc..., I think it added a certain charm and character to the furniture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budullewraagh Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 yeah but mine's in my excessively dissheveled basement. there is almost no lighting, there is no ventilation whatsoever, and the ceiling is about 6 inches too short for my 6'2.5" frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I feel for you, I'm about as tall as you. which is funny as my mum is about 5 foot 4 inch, very small, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 yeah, my parents are short as well, which is amusing. anyway, i'll be expanding my lab as soon as i can earn about $250...which could take awhile. once i get the new stuff i'll probably move the lab to somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_73 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 whats the difference between borosilicate and pyrex glass because i can get a 250ml flat bottom flask borosilicate for £1.86 or 250ml flat bottom flask pyrex for £4.68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 yeah but mine's in my excessively dissheveled basement. there is almost no lighting, there is no ventilation whatsoever, and the ceiling is about 6 inches too short for my 6'2.5" frame Same here but the ceiling is plenty high for me (I’m 5'10 or somewhere around there). A few times I have had to stop what I was doing and leave the lab because the fumes where so bad. Yuck. I have also broken a few pieces of glassware on the concrete floor which I’m going to have to replace when I get some money. I really need a job.

budullewraagh Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 haha, i feel the same. i need about $120 for a hotplate and another $100 for some more chemicals and lab equipment. i'm going to be a merchant tho; buying various goods and selling high to people at school. and nah, dont get the wrong impression; im not going to be dealing drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
