[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[Blindhands at aol.com]

The larger jugs of liquid laundry  soap has the spout and the cap that  
fits on most of the liquid laundry soap has the cap that you can measure the  
liquid in.  For top loaders you fill the cap up and for front loaders there  
is a raised line marked inside the cap.  I put my finger on the line and  
can feel when the soap gets up to the line.  Of course it is a lot easier  if 
you are using one of those spouts instead of pouring, but you can do it  
either way.  You don't have to go out and purchase anything if you use  that.

I would  just use a dry measuring cup for this. It is not something that
needs to be  so precise as to require a weight and the measuring cups are
readily  available. You can probably get one on its own at a thrift store, 
or
by the  set and use the rest as scoops in the kitchen.

You may also want to  consider a container that would let you dip in and
scoop out the soap  rather than having to pour. I also just noticed at
someone else's house  that apparently some of the liquid detergents now come
with a spicket like  you find on a drink dispenser. I thought it seemed very
handy      for dispensing the liquid. I would tether a measuring cup to 
such  a
dispenser just to make it easy to find because obviously things like  that
just moe around on there own. At least according to my family who  never 
move
anything without remembering to put it right back.  :)

Sorry this is off topic, yet in a way it may not be especially  when making
soaps, having just made Lynda's liquid laundry soap, I'm trying  to find a
way to measure the soap with no sight and not using a liquid  indicator 
since
I cannot hear the beeps.
I still have some sight but  want to start getting in the habit of doing so
without sight before my  vision gets worst, would appreciate any feedback
from you all.
Feel free  to email me off list at barbwire59 at gmail.com
thanks,  Barb
