In Response To: Epoxy: New way to meter resin (Russ Amos)

I use syringes too! They work great for small amounts! You can buy them by the bag from a good woodworking supply store. I've also sacrificed a few to get eopxy into tight places and up inside kayak when wetting out seam tape!

: I found a neat way to measure my resin. I bought some 2 oz syringes from a
: vet supply. They have a catheter (sp?) tip. That is the tip that is about
: 3/8 O.D. and 3/16 I.D. I put about 8" of 1/4" I.D. rubber tubing
: on the end to suck up the resin. It works great and you can't beat the
: price. They were about $1.00 each. Just be sure to get the type that has
: the stamped markings and not the printed markings so you can see the
: amounts after several fillings. I put them in separate zip lock bags
: between uses. Also mark which is for resin and which is for hardener. Russ
