: I'm just about ready to start the fiberglassing phase of my Micro-Bootlegger
: and
: have been obsessing over what size/type of epoxy mixing supplies to get and
: am hoping for some wise advice. My goal is to get a good job with sensible
: cost, but I'm not super cheap.

: I'll be using Raka epoxy on 4oz standard weave on the outside and 6oz 45x45
: stitched on the inside. I just don't know what size a good workable batch
: of resin is.
: Should I get the pumps? Will they pump too big of a batch?
: What's a good size for mixing cups: 8, 16, 32oz? Graduated plastic
: (reuseable) or disposable paper?
: Should I mess with a bubble roller, or depend on a squeegee?

: Thanks all,

The fast and easy way for mixing cups, specially if you don't go thru piles of food containers is to go to a commercial supplier for automotive paints and buy their mixing cups. Look around and you can get the for a quarter each (25 cents). I've use all sizes and the 1 pint cups seem to work best for small batches that you'll be using.

Buy about 4 times the number you expect to use, you'll underguess by that amount at least
