Hi Paul,

The bottle weighed 41 grams. When I submerged it the first time, I got a reading of 14 grams.
I did the math to get specific gravity of 2.92
But then I worried that I may not have gotten all the air out of the bottle so weighed again and this time it weighed 13 grams. That's why I gave the range.
I am working with a kitchen scale, small plastic cup full of water and the only way I could hold onto it with the paper clip was to hook it through the neck and submerge it upside down.
