Has anyone tried the cheap durometer testers? Amazon has several in the 20-30 dollar range.

You'll get what you pay for in this department. It is a bit of a science to find the correct set up to get consistent readings over and over.
Without the correct set up you will get one reading and try later and can get a different reading.

I use to use a tip pik and scratch the surface and see the desired results. Hard tips don't tear and much as a soft tip
