What are the safety precautions and techniques when inserting a glass tubing in a rubber stopper?

never attempt to insert glass tubing that has a jagged end, all glass tubing should be fire polished before its inserted into a rubber stopper. Use water or glycerin as a lubricant at the end of the glass tubing before inserting it into the rubber stopper. ask teacher for proper lubricant. Protect hands and fingers by wearing leather gloves or placing a folded cloth between your hands and the tubing. hold it as close as possible to the part it is inserted to the rubber stopper. always point the tubing away from the palm of your hand that holds the stopper. use a twisting motion and push the tubing into the stopper. At the end of the experiment put on leather gloves or place the folded cloth between your hands and the tubing and remover the stoppers from the tubing to keep them from sticking to the glass. if it wont budge, use lubricant.

Where can you buy stirring rod?

Why not make your own ! All you need is a length of glass rod 6-8mm diameter. (any chemistry supply shop should have it) Simply heat the rod in the flame of a Bunsen burner until it softens, then press it against a flame-proof surface to form the end into a flat disk. Top the other end off with a short piece of rubber tubing to provide insulation in case it gets hot.


How can you tell if egr is bad?

If you are talking about the EGR valve, then take a piece of rubber tubing and plug it onto the EGR valve vacuum port and using your mouth pull a suction on the tube. The valve should actuate (pull in) and if you hold it with your tongue by stopping up the end of the tubing, it should also hold it's vacuum. If it loses it's vacuum or doesn't actuate it is bad.
