I'M BACK, LADIES.

i will refrain from "spamming"
and briefly update on my ideas

so, apparently, there are too many variables or some shizzle,
so i thought i would just test different brands of Petroleum Jelly
and see which one will keep the most liquid from evaporating.

SO, i've gone and blown all my life savings on Vaseline, Home Brand Petroleum Jelly, Coles Petroleum Jelly and i WILL find another brand .. soon

and yeah .. i will come up with a method .. later
