Congratulations on completion of your boat, and Happy Birthday!

: Boat Part, Constructive Suggestions:

Second I would find a process
: to measure out correct proportions of smaller amounts of epoxy.

I measure the pump shaft stroke length on my epoxy and hardener bottles and mark divisions of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 with a marker , then carve a shallow notch since the resin and hardener will wash off any ink marker.

This allows me to dispense very small amounts. I've never had a problem using this method in ten years.

All the best,
