: I make a make a mark 1/2 way down on my pump rods (?) and just take half
: strokes, or eyeball it for 1/4 strokes, Sure it's crude but so far it's
: worked well for me.

Pumps are dangerous. I ruined a couple of paddles when my epoxy pumps didn't put out measured amounts.

I stick to graduated mixing cups now. (I'll give you a couple!)

I also realize you're not doing much in the way of boatbuilding using epoxies, but if you do, it's not worth chancing.
