: for the overshoot, if you had poured resin in last(the larger volume) wont it
: be near the surface and not mixed and could you just touch a honey dipper
: or something similar to the surface to by surface tension take a little
: bit off to slowly drain back in?

Mick,

I think if you added all the resin to the hardner on one side of the cup, you could get away with removing a few drops to balance the mix. The more I think of it, the better I like the idea.

If the hardner is old, it will be a much darker color than the resin, and where the two are combining, you'll see a cloudiness, or stringiness where the two are linking. This goes away after they are mixed.

Thanks for the idea!

Mixing by weight (well, mass, but...)
