: Ketchup squeeze bottles make great epoxy holders with the syringe
: stopper. Monojet syringes can be marked for desired volumes.
: Weather stripping can be used to make a custom sized foam
: brushes. Stacking cups of a couple sizes each with marked for a
: couple of mix volumes.

That's what I do, but without the syringes. Like that idea. Do you have any issues with the hardener discoloring from the exposure to air? I used to buy these collapsable bottles back in the days of film for storing darkroom chemicals. They would collapse down like an accordian to take the air space out of the bottle. I have not been able to find any like them. Anyone know of anything like that?
