There is no LHBS here so I was wondering where I might look for a test jar for my hydrometer? I lost the bottom piece of my old one somehow, so now all I have is a tube. :mad:
 
use some water proof tape? get a vinyl end cap from home depot?
 
Do you still have the plastic tube your hydrometer probably came in? They will work.

Since you still have the tube, how about gluing a piece of plastic to the bottom of it? or even just hold your hand under it tight while taking a reading. Of course that would probably require two people to take a reading
 
long stem rose vase the kind for one flower . May not be able to read very low gravities but will work in a pinch . Hit the Dollar store
 
A dab of epoxy and a little square of plywood and you should be good to go.

Mine fell over and cracked at the top. Now, the edge is VERY crooked. I get beer all over me when I drink the sample at kegging time.
