Thanks John that seems extremely sensible, I'm intending to test this
with several new 2pence pieces as advised in an earlier post.
Apologies for my spelling mistake I meant Maplins and not in the
Hi-de-Hi sense! fingers were typing faster than my slow brain can cope
with...
I shall also be employing method of covering the scales with a sheet of
cling film to protect it from spillages that I learned from Svien
Johnsen.
Cheers
Paul.

You will not, of course, need a calibration weight if the only
application is to
build your a/c. All that matters is the linearity, i.e. that a reading
of, say,
100g really is 4 times as much as a reading of 25g. This can be checked
readily
with a bag of objects of the same weight (such as AN nuts).
[I checked this on my scale and the linearity was spot-on. I also
checked the
readings with another scale of the same type, all the way up the scale,
and they
were all but identical.]
