In Response To: Epoxy: syringes (Matthew)

I bought two 2 ounce syringes from the pet supply store vet.
Here in WA state (at least in my area) medical supply stores won't
sell you evacuation syringes without a Rx. Go figure?
Anyways the 2 I purchased are graduated in cc's and ounces
with black lines and numbers. They also have about a 1 inch long
nozzle as apposed to a needle attachment which is very short.
They were about 2 dollars each.
Dedicate one for resin and one for hardner.
I used a red permanent marker to highlite the 1/2 and full once marks.
In terms of how to use them I'm following Jim Kozel's example.

: Could someone post a picture and or more information about using syringes to
: measure epoxy.
: Is there a method, that like pumps, that will last the life of the container,
: or do you use a new one every time?
: My pumps have siezed up and I`m looking for a better way.

: Thanks, Matthew
