babyrn Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I was just wondering if I could reuse my jars that I use as testers. It seems like such a waste to throw them away, but I didn't know if the glass weakens after each use. Anyone do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 For testing, yes, I reuse the jars. Whether the glass weakens depends on how long your test burns are. The longer the hotter, and the glass might develop small cracks you can't see but might cause a problem later. If it's just for your own testing and you're monitoring it, I feel it should be all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I resuse my jars for testers. I have had the same set of jars for over a year now and none of them have cracked/shattered yet. I know it's coming, but until they break, I'll keep using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I resuse jars as testers. I mark the bottom of them after I clean them out, so they don't get used for orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
