hm, should i buy something like a conductivity meter?
(as example: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KSTZGNE?psc=1 )
Would this prevent me from wasting my resin?

I have a refractometer for my fish tank:

I plan on using that.

Typically here at peachy we just make saturated salt water, and then add a tiny bit (say 5 percent) of fresh water to that so that evaporation doesn’t cause the salt to precipitate out immediately.
it dose take nearly saturated salt water to float subG and I haven’t played with subG+ much yet.
I think string the resin with water vigorously causes some chemicals to leach from the resin, into the water, and that makes the resin a bit less sensitive to light. This doesn’t seem to be a problem with resin that is just sitting on top the water for a few weeks.
resin that is less sensitive to light isnt necessarily a bad thing, it has pros and cons, for example less sensitive resin means you can use more laser power which means if your using a pwm laser you can use more of the lasers range of power.
more sensitive may allow you to print faster with a lower power laser that is safer for the human eye.
Ether way we have made calibration features in the software so you can get the printer working with a wide range of resin sensitivity’s.
