sup guys,
My story:
Between subbing and diluting, I myself did both - but with the large amount of posts saying "I came back dilute" and "they told me to retest ASAP", on the last day, I decided to go with Quick Fix 5.7. As most know, temperature is the #1 obstacle with subbing and 99.9% of the time, if you clear that, you're home free. So, it makes sense to invest in a digital thermometer and making it silent. This post is for those out there who couldn't find a silent thermometer and wouldn't want to bank their jobs on a little sticky tape stuck on the side of the plastic bottle.
Reasons to make it silent:
- So they can't hear you beeping in the bathroom
Materials Needed:
1. Electrical Tape
2. Box Cutter
3. Toothpick
4. Scissors
5. ReliOn Digital Thermometer
- note: you can find these at any Walmart. If you can't find this particular brand, see bottom section.
Step-by-Step:
*use the attached images to help you along your way*
Step 1: Open up the thermometer box and lay it on its front
Step 2: Flip the thermometer around and locate the space below the ID tag
Step 3: Use the box cutter to cut through the plastic back. This is the most difficult step, but shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. When it is sufficiently cut, wedge out the backing.
Step 4: Identify TWO black insulated wires. DO NOT touch the exposed copper wires beneath them. If you disconnect the copper wires, the thermometer WILL NOT WORK, and jesus will slap you. In the face.
Step 5: Use the toothpick to wedge out the two black wires.
Step 6: Use the scissors to cut the wires, and stuff them back into the thermometer with the toothpick.
Step 7: Use the electrical tape to wrap the hole up. Be careful not to let water (or you-know-what) seep in.
And you're done!! (:
SPECIAL STEP:
For those of you who can't find the ReliOn Digital Thermometer, the wires may not look like the ones I've shown, and the location of them might be different. See the attached image that distinguishes the sound box of the thermometer. All thermometers that beep have this thing; I recommend buying two, ripping one open, finding the sound box, and then proceed to repeat the above steps in the right location.
Alrite guys, I hope this helps you guys, happy tokin',
