: I weigh all my epoxy. I still use the pumps but not for measuring.
: It's just very easy and very accurate for even the smallest
: batch size. I have 2 digital gram scales. One has a 7000g limit
: with 1g increments, the other has a 300g limit with .1g
: increments. " My Weigh" i300 and 7001DX. For small
: batches I use the i300. Rarely use the bigger one. At around $30
: and a lifetime warranty you can't go wrong.

Me too. It's a piece of cake to do, and very accurate. They are especially useful for mixing tiny batches, and when the containers are getting low and at risk of burping the pumps.

I've got a set of 500g scales with 0.1g increments that cost about $15.

Cheers, Ian
