	Yes, we thought of that.
	However, (keeping in mind that I haven't actually
	tried) it seems to me that while this method
	will be more accurate, it may not be as simple.

	It's *hard* to accurately measure tiny amounts
	of water.  Especially if one does not have access to
	accurate lab equipment.

	Many of my miniatures are too wide to fit in a narrow
	gradated cylinder.  And the wider the cylinder,
	the closer spaced the gradations have to be.

	And have you recently priced pan balances capable
	of measuring to the nearest gram?
