In Response To: S&G: Dixie cups for mixing epoxy? (John Faas)

I bought at Costco a box of Kirkland brand yogurt and used the emptied 8 oz cups to mix epoxy, 6 oz at a time. Even with a little residual epoxy hardened in the bottom, each could be used multiple times.

: I made a trip to Costco after cleaning out the middle of my garage. I got a
: BIG bag of 20 oz Dixie cups for mixing up my epoxy. If they won't work I
: can use em for drinking purposes. They do not seem to have any wax coating
: and do have a flat bottom that is fused to the sides--pretty standard
: stuff.

: Is there a better and cheap option?

: Also, building an Arctic Hawk kit--how wide a building surface do I need?
: At the moment I have a sheet of plywood on two horses and intend to put two
: extension ladders under the ply to glass all of the pieces prior to
: assembly.

: Thanks gang, and here we go.
