How do you take care of your scales?

My parents never really taught me and I've always been too afraid to ask.

What kind of scales? Like for weighing people? Horses? Drugs?

i was blessed with rugged and hardy scales. my natural slime keeps microbes from infiltrating, and if i get too slimy - i add some epsom salts to my tank. that seems to do a good job. unfortunately my scales are very dull and boring - i really envy fish with RAINBOW scales!! but i know if i had them, i wouldn't be able to maintain them.. who has time to toothbrush scrub every scale?? I have a LIFE!!!

Is this furry roleplay? Fuck truck did you tell people this was a furry roleplay server?

I prefer lever-arm units, very low maintenance compared to spring-loaded.  Just need a set of reference weights to test once a year, and keep the pans polished so the smutz that builds up won't distort measurements.

This thread reminds me of the Hp Lovecraft story, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".
