Thats a good idea! I've always used a single syringe. It's easy to mix a 3cc or 6cc batch with a 10cc syringe. Just put the resin in first, get the amount right, and be careful drawing in the hardner. Mix it in multiples of 3 for a 2:1 mix, 2cc resin and 1 hardner. The syringes are cleaned with white vinager and reused several times.
