I would agree that RIT dyes are a good way to go. They cheap and I have actually dyed a lot of ghillie burlap with them. You can play around and mix the colors to get exactly what you want. Green,...

I think most commonwealth countries follow a similar system. Up here in Canada there is a similar set of rules, although it is my belief they are not as restrictive as the UK. You can defend...

I bought all my seeds on Ebay. The seller is Spicy Acres, and they are great to deal with. They only do non-gmo and the seeds were grown in Canada, so the strains should be somewhat acclimated to...

man real horseradish is the best. I made a jar once just like that, grating with salt and vinegar, and now the prepared stuff in the story just doesn't work for me anymore. You could mix it with...

If you want a good thermocouple, get an industrial one. 1/4" diameter type K. You can find them from WIKA instruments.

Temperature is inherently a difficult process to control. As opposed to pressure or flow, there is a dead time or "capacity" to deal with. PID controllers excel when they have a direct analog...

You can buy self regulating heat trace. Basically they are rated so many watts per foot, and won't go above or below that rating. We use it all the time at work to keep lines heated to 70F. Just...

Something to consider is if the lead level goes below the TC your controller is going to flog the heat to the pot to make set point. I've seen this happen before and the little bit of lead left in...

You will not be disappointed with that machine. On top of that Magma is a great company to deal with. Whenever I had a tech problem/question they would always help me out.
