omg, I need scale help

so yea I just bought an ounce and I was going to take pics and weight it out..but I uncalibrated my scale by accident, and now when I weight like a .2 it will say 1g or something...

How do I fix that up? Reading the user's manual I figured out I have to put something that weights 100g on it to calibrate. But how am I supposed to find something like that without a scale?!

1mL of water = 1g
Do you have a way to accurately measure out 99mL into a WATERTIGHT zip-lock baggie?
That will come very very close.
Or find a friend with a scale and use that one to measure out 100g of pennies or something, and keep them in a baggie so you always have them around.
Didn't your scale come with a calibration weight?

lol I was just thinking that at Staples they might have postal scales on display and you can take your baggie of pennies there to weigh it in the store... like a crazy person... hahahaha

Wish i could help my scale says error everytime I turn it on... no idea

My scale didn't come with a calibration weight unfortunately. Although my bro has one...Im probably going to sneak into his room and try to find it..but I think it's not there anymore.

As for the 99ml thing I don't think I could do that, but even if, wouldnt it be kinda inaccurate(sp?)?

Ohhh guys nevermind, I went to look in my bro's room, his scale box was not there..but on the way out there's a big bookshelf and it was there on some books. I have a 100g calibration weight. Thank god.

And of course, thanks SA and KL ;)

i was gonna say 20 nickles should weight exactly 100 g

also, regular baggies weight 1.1

shitty store brands weigh .9


i guess you got your shit worked out
