Help My scale can weight 50g but is very small, what household object could I use to put on the scale that isn't too heavy to meassure the sn at once?

I tested I can only meassure circa 4g of salt with the scale cause the little container is too small but if I could use anything else instead that doesn't weight much but the sn fits on it I could use that, but it shouldn't weight more than 20g the container.
Maybe I could put some foil around the container to make it higher, I will think about some stuff.

Theres a lot of scales where you can put something on it and reset the weight back to 0. Then you won't have to worry about not being able to be precise enough while weighing the SN. If your scale isn't like that then, i'm not sure.

The problem is I need something to put on that can fit the sn in
I thought about using an empty water bottle but there is water residue in it

Can i see a picture of your scale?

You can use a small square of foil and measure in 5g increments

Cut the top off it and dry it then. Use just the base.

Yea that could work, I will do that but the label is in the way

You need instructions to remove a label ?

If I remove the label there is glue residue but if I think about it it shouldn't be a real problem

You can buy a digital scale on Amazon for 5 or 6 dollars/pounds. The TARE button will zero the scale after you put the container on it.

You can buy a urine sample container from any drug store. This will easily fit 30 grams.
