Hi, Matthew

I haven't any pics but I can describe how I do it. I recycled two YOP containers with lid. You can use any sturdy container you find as long as it has a lid to protect the resin/hardener from contamination. The YOP containers were washed out carefully so ensure they were clean. In one went the resin, in the other went the hardener. I have two syringes, one for each spoxy ccomponent. Both syringes were etched with eual graduations using a tape measure so that I could get three portions per syringe. Each portion is the same with both syringes. When I am using epoxy, I use three portions from the resin syringe and one portion from the hardener syringe. This recipie is for the West System Hardener that I use. The point is, whether I am using three syringes of resin to one syringe of hardener, or one syringe of resin to one-third of a syringe of hardener, my measurements are deadly accurate. I rinse the syringes in acetone by pumping in and out until the resin/hardener has been washed out. For that I use a glass bottle to store the aceetone and keep it filled up enough so that the syringes can reach into it. Once the syringes have been cleaned they should be taken apart and stored so that they can dry out until the next use. For this I use a yogurt container that has been carefully cleaned. When the acetone gets really dirty I burn it outside and refresh the bottle with new stuff. The syringes should last long enough to complete a kayak, longer if you keep them clean.

I hope this helps.

Note: be extremely careful when etching the syringes (I used a razor blade) to ensure each mark on each syringe is exactly the same. Make sure to use the same syringe for each component, because different syringes give different volumes. I did not use the graduations that came with the syringes I used, I made my own for my own convenience.
