I forgot to mention, put them in the cradle updide down. You then have a gravity fed system, no burping, and if you put a pin prick in the bottom you will get air flow in through the top. Seal with duct tape after use. John

: Hi all, I recently posted a suggestion for epoxy dispensing, but due to input
: from others I was sent back to the drawing board. I have now come up with
: a simpler version still involving a cradle, but: Take resin and hardener
: bottles, unscrew lids, substitute by those rotating lids you get on sauce
: (ketchup) bottles (in Australia- Masterfoods sauce bottles). They fit the
: thread of the epoxy bottles. Rotate to open and you have epoxy/resin
: coming out. Rotate to close. No drips. Measure into cup. No lifting and
: pouring and the wife still wants to help. :-)
