And make sure it doesn't leave any residue in the teaspoon you're testing it on too. My Dad went to Saudi a tee totaller, got into that and that was that! He used to sell it, made fortunes, I used to help him test it when he brought it home, teaspoon method, not drinking the stuff, I was only a kid

holiday...saudi..no thanks....helping brother teach guys how to install mixing stations and use unipipe plumbing amongst other things..can come and go when i want, but gets frustrating at times. heres an example of what happened in the same shop with the artistic wiring.

ok so I goes in this shop to buy some drill bits...guy follows me to drill stand..I pick the drills and take them with man 1 to desk..man 1 then tells man 2 the code numbers on drills...man 2 enters codes in computer and prints ticket...then hands ticket to me pointing to man 3...man 3 takes ticket, my money and stamps ticket as paid...then from no where another man..who we shall call man 4 takes my drills to a desk near exit...places drills on desk..I wait..and another man..who shall be called here with man 5..takes my ticket...and counts the drills to double check the receipt matches the code on the drills bits...happy he can count to 6...man 5 proceeds to give me drill bits and receipt and I am on my way.....

So 5 men to do one mans job...labour is cheap...but my god do you realise labour would be much cheaper if you got rid of man 2,3,4 and 5 !!!!!!​
