And that's why we have to use signs like "caution, contents are hot", and especially now, "please do not sit in chair". People are too stupid to have common sense.
Equally dumb is leaving it out in the open and unprotected to tempt the idiot that couldn’t resist sitting in it.

Nice to know those are available -- but I hate those assortments. They have three or four of the size(s) you need, and the rest just sit in the basement because you have no use for them, but can't bring yourself to throw them away!

Personal experience tells me it's essential to have a fresh bubble for the poyuit valve adjustment in the rear framastat assembly of the Cyclops windchimer.
I tried it once with an original bubble; never ever again. -
