Acquisitions for April 2013

[sarimento1]

New scuttle arrived, from Etsy vendor Yoresh. I had trouble finding a two piece scuttle and Michal's pottery is great. I'm using a travel immersible heater to get the water bath hot (my sink hot water barely reaches 110f). After the water bath gets heated, I remove the immersible element and this 'crock pot' held the water bath temp for more than 20 minutes near 140f. The soap temp in the brush was (roughly) measured around 120f, which was ideal for me.

Seller had 6 packs and were gone within a matter of minutes. Been wanting to try these for a long time but wasn't about to pay 30+. I must have been in the right place at the right time because luckily I scored a pack.
