I do not understand what is going on. Every week some stupid question: 
pencils.
water bath ,blades etc. Most of you are lab Mgr. can you make a 
educated decision
on your own or you always have somebody make it for you? Get the #2,3, 
or any
pencil which works for you  clean the blades with any solvent  which 
removes the
oil, get any water bath which will do the job. Please make a decision 
and  get on
with it.
