Is there a good way to shade a thermometer to get accurate readings in a reflective environment where there is near no shadows?

You can't figure this out yourself?

:wtf:

create a shadow maybe?

A tent made of a piece of white paper folded in half?

Sheesh... good luck with the rest of the problems you are going to encounter!:D

because the walls are all reflective, simly tenting it doesnt work because the light gets reflected AROUND what ever kind of tend i use, and if i cover it enough then i cant read the thermometer... condescending sob

OMG stinky you almost made me choke LOL

OP, try putting it in a a shoe box or something, or put a box over it or something - as long as you read it fast enough when you open the box you'll get a good reading

Lazyness and efficiency are the same principal, get it done with as little effort as possible.

I don't think they are the same principle at all.
Lazy does the laundry and then just shoves it unfolded into drawers.
Efficient folds the laundry while watching the evening news.

Shoving it in the drawers isnt getting it done ;) Just because you are lazy doesnt mean you are ineffective.
You must master the art of slacking :thumbsup:
