Re: Forensics C
A lot of the strikers they have at my school are worn out, so we brought a lighter.iwonder wrote:That's why I have a striker in the kit!

Re: Forensics C
Yep, always bring your own matches -- which are also good to use for fibers burn tests -- and/or lighter. I say matches/lighters but not strikers, because the former can also double as makeshift flame test equipment. Forensics at Stoga didn't have bunsen burners (idk why, because we were in a high school chem lab), so myself and a few other teams in the first block used the matches/lighters we'd brought as jury-rigged bunsen burners... until they said "no more fire" because the room had filled with smoke from an unrelated incident.darkwinters wrote:I"ve been to an invitational where they used a technicality by stating that they had to provide bunsen burners, but they didn't have to light them.spackenkillkid wrote:Are you sure? The event sheet says the supervisor is required to provide a bunsen burner. Also I do know how to do identify that without a flame test anyway.

Re: Forensics C
Does anyone know how to tell the difference between PC and PMMA polymers besides using the density test?
