Seems like the more I use yogurt containers, the more I like them. I always eat the same brand (store brand--cheapest!) I now remember which line of type is 2 oz., which is 3 oz., etc. I just pump 2 oz. of resin and 1 oz. of hardener in, and go!

I like 'em too, because I can reuse them--just let the epoxy cure, squeeze and crack it out. When they get too grody, just toss and grab a new one--heck, you've already used it 4 or 5 times!
