615170	2007-11-26 02:36:00	yes they do, hobby shops or even hydroponic shops	plod (107)
615171	2007-11-26 02:37:00	Probably. Tried Jaycars? Chemists would use such a thing. Alternatively my husband had a thing, you tied a bag to it and it pulled down, displaying the measurement in grams. Scales sort of but not like the sort you stand on or weigh cooking ingredients with - I think they were some old Telecom thing he had. I don't know what the proper name for it was. You held it, attached your item to the hook on the bottom and a lever pulled down.	pctek (84)

Most of the time they are in the gram and oz zone . . so getting one over 1 lb/0 . 45kg is not likely . . . unless you hit a very big dealer! Here in the US having scales and any other ONE drug-related device is a felony . . . good for some serious jail time . The hanging scale mentioned is called a "Fisherman's De-Liar ( . ebay . com/LANGLEY-FISHERMANs-DE-LIAR-M-I-B-SCALE-TAPE-MEASURE_W0QQitemZ170172384494QQihZ007QQcategoryZ11" target="_blank">cgi . ebay . com 727QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting)" .

You may consider such an item to weigh the amount of ingredients for a Yorkshire pudding. Usually served with Beef rather than Lamb. I will get you a recipe.	Sweep (90)

Hey, no need to explain to us! ;) ;) ;) They are available in copious numbers on TM with accuracy suitable for retailing vaious *cough* substances. Small plastic bags suitable for "dye" are probably available as part of a "package" deal I shouldn't be surprised. No doubt the rozzers take a keen interest in who is selling and who is buying.

615178	2007-11-26 04:17:00	Yes my bestfriend is that guy on TVNZ Sunday last night ! He was found guilty of growing dope in his fashion factory ! He looked a complete t..t to me ! No seriously I do a bit a fabric dying ! But it does seem that there are lots of these scales on the market. I thought that going down to such low figures would be reserved for the scientific community. regards Digby	Digby (677)
