Dew Point Hygrometer

I am attempting to make an optical chilled mirror dew point hygrometer,
and
then a full weather station to accompany it, anybody built similar items?
Doing it the hard way, then! I would have thought the most
important
thing would be to have a very smooth highly polished surface on a piece of
copper that is as thin as possible, say about 10 thou or 0.25 mm. It
might
buckle if you bash it, though. Brass would be nearly as good, and easier
to
work.
What liquid are you going to use? Petrol would be OK - very
volatile,
but it will become a little less effective each time as you blow off the
volatiles, but cheap enough. I use it to top up a Tippex bottle. Pongs a
bit
but the volatility is right.
Best of luck - Tudor Hughes, Warlingham.
What is the easy way then??
