HYDROMETER STORAGE
Go to a large plumbing supply house with your hydrometer. Choose BLACK pvc tube big enough to hold your hydometer inside. One end of the tube gets a cement-on cap
Permanent.
The other end gets a threaded flange collar that is also permanently cemented to the tube. Then a threaded plug is screwed into the collar. The bulb protects one end of the hydrometer while the rubber nipple cushions the other end. Two large hose clamps and a length of 1/2" nylon rope makes a great handle. A smear of electronics silicone grease on the plug and collar threads makes the fit glide like butter.
