Industrial Lust

The Uline catalog offers the most beautiful array of toxic industrial products for the production of more toxic industrial products.  I cannot turn away.  Oh, poly tubing and a heat sealer!  I would bag everything in my house.  Bobbie pins, bagged.  Dog kibble, bagged.  Tiny Playmobil swords, bagged.  Pennies, bagged.  Old correspondence, bagged.  What would you heat seal in a polybag?

I am so glad you understand - of course you do! Do you still have your wooden sunglasses?

I used to use that very heat sealer when I did bench research. We didn't use big rolls of plastic, but boxes of seal-a-meal pouches. I'd use them incubate my nitrocellulose membrane with antibodies, sealing in odd shapes of the membranes and then leaving them to shake or rotate for various periods of time. they're kinda fun.
