Cheap mixing containers..My family goes eats Yogurt every morning. I have found that they make very good mixing containers. I started saving them when I started the project. When I had about 30 my wife started asking questions. I have used every one. I mix in small batches in warm conditions.

This past winter, I had problems with my dispensing pumps "burping" I mark all of my Yogurt cups with two marks. The first for two pumps of resin and the second the level of one added pump of hardener (using Raka - 350 no blush). I always do the resin first...if the pump burps I just squirt up to the mark. Then I add the resin until the top mark.

2:1 Ratio
On the Dannon "Fruit on the Bottom" 8oz cups:

6oz Total - There is a line on either side of the word Dannon (4oz). Make a mark next to the "Serving size 1 Container" words under Nutrition Facts and you have the additional 2oz for a 6 oz batch.

3oz Total - Under Nutrition Facts 2oz mark next to "Dietary Fiber". The next mark (3oz total) on the line beween "Sodium" and "Potasium"

It works great when it is cold and the pumps are burping.
