In Response To: Wax-coated mixing cups? (Ross Leidy)

You may be looking wrong for the no-wax paper cups. I was. Once I learned these are paper *coffee* cups, I could find them at the drug stores. I used these for small mixes where I just wanted to throw away the mess. I also used plastic tubs from anything, like yogurt to chream cheese. They worked great and popped the cured epoxy easily. I tried the clear plastic cups with bad results, namely melting. I was using West System epoxy.

I use 16oz cottage cheese or salsa tubs.
