    @hittman I know you're liking rhubarb quite a bit now and so do I. It's useful to me to bring down the sweetness in some mixes. I can do this with cranberry also but I have way more trouble with finding a good cranberry. TFA is nicely wicked tart but only for a few days. Then it turns wicked sweet. I can't vape that fast. The SC isn't bad but doesn't really have that level of tartness and I don't feel that it holds the tartness for long. At least it doesn't get sweet. FLV isn't the best Cranberry but it doesn't change.

    Good luck. I don't have a love of painting.

    The only painting I like is acrylic on canvas.

    Painting is done. I hate to admit a really dumb thing I did. I forgot the paint chip that I needed to match when I went to get paint. I didn't want to go all the way back home so I guessed at the color. Not an exact match but close. I still should have gotten the chip and did it right. Oh well, I said it was dumb.

    Not much to do except watch my mixes steep. I'd make some new recipes but that would be wasteful until I get a better grip on some of these sfts. I have a ton to vape anyway. Late next week. That would give me a two week steep time. Probably adequate. I'll just keep shakin' till then.

    I use my ultrasonic cleaner for the shaking. :banana:

    I'm betting it still looks good.

    Heck, just call it an "accent" color :)

    Love it, that works except for the places that need patching and the long board that had to be replaced on the deck. Sticks out like a sore thumb, partly cause it is clean/new looking. Oh well.

    I always run every mix through the ultrasonic cleaner. I got one that runs for up to 25 minutes and it does a great job as long as I mix in glass bottles. I also use little hand mixers. I have the Badger for larger mouth bottles and the little Norpro one for smaller mouth bottles. IMO, these are great time savers and important additions to my mixing arsenal.

    I use plastic bottles but only run for 3 minutes. Is it the longer time that creates a need for glass?
