: The method is of course not precise ... and it doesn't have to be

: I've never seen an epoxy that was not tolerant of mix ratios
: that weren't exact as long as they were in the ball park.

: Ken Blanton

While most epoxies will cure if their ratio of resin to hardener isn't exact, having them off can make a big difference in the strength of the epoxy. Weighing small batches works fine. I just plan several small jobs at once then use the standard pumps.
