quantifying 1 gram of Oxalic acid crystals

[idg]

Can anyone roughly quantify 1 gram of oxalic acid crystals?
would they represent the size of a pea or marble for instance? 1/4 teaspoon? 1/2 teaspoon etc?

I don't have any scales that are that accurate.

I bought some oxalic tablets of fleabay, (not from Simon), they were not very effective and left a lot of brown residue in the bowl that I had to scrape off.. I vaped under the mesh floor so it wasn't wax.

That's £8 for 50 g ...

Here's £9 for 1000 g - Ebay #130672302665 - and there's plenty more suppliers at that price.

Precision scales ex Ebay range from £3 to £5.

It has no meaning. Making a dosage / evaluating volume of bees is more wrong than chemical formula.

Perhaps I could weigh 1 g here and send it via mail to you. Or I send £ 10 to you and you buy own digital balance from Lidl.

£8.75 for 1 kg of Oxalic Acid dihydrate, on Ebay 99.4% pure for use as a Hull, Deck, GRP cleaner, stain & rust remover. You could not POSSIBLY use it on bees.

You can buy jewelers' scales for under £4 on Ebay

Even cheaper here, 25kg for £69.99, works out at around £2.80 per kg.

And could go to the local post office and ask to use their scales for free.

Would be a bit overkill as my yacht is only 22ft long!
