In Response To: Epoxy pump dispensers, users beware! (Matthew Bastian)

It's certainly possible. These pumps are pretty accurate, so is the katsup pump at McDonalds for that matter. But they have limitations, with cavitation probably being the most significant. Pump slowly and smoothly. Otherwise, you run an increased risk of cavitation. Made worse by cold weather.

I made up a "master cup" for indexing all my subsequent paper cups. Just worked in the kitchen with measuring spoons and a ball point pen. Traced the marks on the outside for different amounts in their proper ratios. Then I would use this cup against the others as I filled in smaller amounts. Quick and effective for all those small batches.
