Questions & Answers
They're made of a light, flexible plastic. Although I don't believe they would melt, I believe they would deform in warm temperatures. They can't be used in the oven or microwave.
They're not meant to be kept. You might be able to reuse them depending on what you're weighing out. If cross-contamination is a concern, you should avoid reusing them. There was a problem with contamination.
No, it's only one size; however, I'm sure you could order different sizes or find a pack of assorted sizes.

I bought these for an unusual reason, which I'll discuss, but I also wanted this review to be useful for people who wanted to use them as weighing boats, so I'll include some comments on that as well. br>br>I got a new set of nail art brushes recently. These are items that are too large to fit into standard nail polish bottles. So I needed small trays, preferably disposable, to pour a small amount of polish into so that I could use the nail art brushes. Plastic weighing boats came to mind first because I spent six years in graduate school for chemistry. These were the tiniest I could find, so I'd be wasting as little polish as possible. And they are unquestionably effective in accomplishing that goal. They're large enough to accommodate a nail fan brush, but they're also suitable for dotting tools. You can use a different one for each color and then dispose of them (yay for no-mess cleanup). You could probably use these to mix small amounts of paint in a similar way. br>br>These can also be used to weigh small amounts of substances (I tested this with flour and sugar from my kitchen). Because the bottoms are only a little bigger in area than a US quarter, they'd be best suited to microscale synthesis experiments or perhaps preparing standards solutions for liquid chromatography or another analytical method. They're made of the same material as almost every other weighing boat I've ever used, and they have the same finish. They're relatively light, which is exactly what you want in a weighing boat.
If you're looking for a cheap little weighing boat, these will do the trick. br>br>I needed these to replace the weighing pan that came with the package.
The medium and small are visually very similar in size, though the medium holds more. These work well up to about 20 grams of dye, but I prefer to weigh my dyes for better consistency. There's also a micro version, which can only hold about 5 grams of dye. I use these to pour the dyes into the mixing solution because they have two thinner sides that, when squeezed together, make pouring into the mixer a breeze. Because I do some "micro dyeing" (using less than 30 cc of dye mix), small and micro sizes come in handy.
parties with a theme I was assisting in the planning of a surprise birthday party for one of my best friends based on The Settlers of Catan. We searched everywhere for hexagon-shaped objects. I was looking for shaped bowls or plates to use, but everything was too expensive until I found these. They were EXACTLY what I was looking for. They work well for holding small amounts of food, despite the fact that it is not the intended use. I would highly recommend these if you're planning a Catan party.
Precision and general reloading are made easy with these weigh boats. If you have a lab quality scale, these boats will suffice, and if you have a kitchen scale (which I refer to as a jewelers scale), these boats will also suffice. br>br>The hexagonal shape makes it simple to pour powder into a bullet case after it has been weighed.
Because the boats are only an inch wide at their narrowest point (between parallel sides), they won't fit on the AWS scale without the pan, so I'll have to use the metal pan with them on the AWS scale, but they'll be great on the "smart weigh" scale by themselves. I looked for something similar a few years ago but was unable to locate it. I'm relieved that I've finally discovered them. They won't fit on the AWS scale without the pan because the boats are only an inch wide at their narrowest point (between parallel sides). I'd give them five stars if they were small enough to fit on the AWS scale without the pan.
I'm getting into craft cocktails and needed these to properly measure out powders like citric acid and agar agar in very small quantities. This is the scale I use with it: .
I used these to mix solids into an epoxy mixture and measure them - They appear to be of good quality and inert; I also mixed everything together in these trays, and the composition of the resulting putty had no effect on it before it finished curing.
