Thermometer fix

Crikey, this heat is unbearable! And Evil Technician and I have been doing just he job to tip those pesky teachers right over the edge - fixing our thermometers. After all, they'd need to use them to measure the soaring temperatures of their labs, so we have to get rid of all those spilt alcohol bubbles, don't we?


And the best way we're discovered of doing this is tapping the part where the split is, repeatedly on the edge of a desk. (Preferably wood, and preferably when someone is trying to teach next door!) This banging vaporizes the alcohol and then it can move freely down to join the bottom reservoir where it belongs. It takes a while and the alcohol bubbles regularly form again halfway down, but keep banging and I promise you they will eventually fall (sending you and your colleagues gradually mad in the process.)

Happy tapping!
