: I use a pair of calibrated glue syringes, one for resin and one for hardner.
: That way, you can mix in any container you like, regardless of size or
: shape. The syringes are cheap and available at any place that sells epoxy
: products.
I got 60CC graduated syringes from a medial supply house for $1.50 each. They have caps, which is nice. The ONLY problem is the 1st time you pull the stuff into the syringe - you have to turn it pluger side down to expel the air, but after that you can mix in quantities that are REALLY small if you need to. Just don't mistake one for the other - I use red and black permanent markers on the caps, plungers and corresponding colors on the actual bottles. Unless you are really messy, 2 should last through a whole boat construction.
