: My calculator says 40 grams is equal to 1.41 oz. by weight.

: 30 ml (equal to 30g of water) is about 1 oz. by volume.

: I use tiny medicine cups to measure mine...I regularly mix 15ml of epoxy
: (10ml resin, 5ml hardener) for small jobs. Okay, tiny jobs.

: I used to have a bookmark for 100 of these cups at golfsmith.com, but can't
: find that item anymore. :( I should have bought a couple of sleeves and
: given them away at R2K1 as door prizes!

: Shawn

I bought a 200 cup package of 3/4 oz plastic cups from Smart & Final. I then did the trick of stacking two cups and marking the outside cup after adding two parts resin into the inside cup then again after adding one part hardener into the insde cup. I have used the same outside cup to measure the levels in the inside mixing cups many times.

The 3/4 oz. cups are also good for mixing batches measured from syringes.
