: Clayton - thanks for the info. I'm actually pretty local to CLC. I

: smaller batches and *really* liked the metered pumps that W/S
: had.

Here's the pump I want, one of these days I'll just break down and buy it:

Yeah it's expensive but you can automatically dispense any quantity you want, just turn the crank. Used one of these a number of years back in a friends shop in Canada when he was building several 40' sailboats that were all strip planked with epoxy joints between each strip. (btw, he was buying epoxy by the 55 gallon drum! ) Made for much less wasted epoxy, that alone would eventually pay for the pump.
