I ended up ordering and using pumps mostly as a way to get the epoxy
out of the big jugs. When you mix in cups do you first pour the epoxy
into smaller, more manageable containers? Or do you pour it out of the
gallon jugs? It also thought it might be tough to pour accurately to
a line because the resin is so viscous that it pours slowly and stops
pouring slowly.

: I've never used pumps. I use paper or plastic cups with lines on them. I also
: use a 2 to 1 epoxy mix (rarely a 1 to 1). Easier to meter with the cups.
: Even if I did use pumps I'd pump it into the cups before mixing. I rarely
: have any problems.
