Hi Kurt,
I always use syringes to measure my hardner and epoxy. They are super accurate and there is no volume lost stuck to the sides as there is with some other methods of measuring. I have used the same two 60 ml/2 oz syringes for a whole boat, but that may be due to my Scottish heritage. There are many right ways to measure your epoxy and hardner, pick one that you feel comfortable with and that minimizes confusion("Yes Dear, I'll be coming up to bed right away"...now let see, was that one pump of epoxy or two?)
Happy building!!
Ken
: Greetings: I have gallon jugs of epoxy and hardener on hand, plus a boat
: project now at the gluing stage. But what I do not have is a pair of pumps
: for the epoxy jugs. I am due to receive my pumps soon, but in the meantime
: I would very much like to proceed. Thus my question to the more
: experienced hands: How best to mete out epoxy without making a great mess,
: assuming no pumps? I have a gallon jug of white vinegar on hand, lots of
: paper towels, but still...
: Cheers,
