In Response To: Epoxy: Small batches of epoxy (JohnAbercrombie)

Hi!
For small batches, I use disposable clear plastic medicine cups. But since the graduations are difficult to read, I use a Sharpe pen to mark the ones I will use prior to pumping in the epoxy and hardener. Once I get the stuff into the little I dump it into a yogurt container and mix. The little cups are too difficult to mix in.
I use pumps in my containers of epoxy and hardener, but not for measuring, just as a handy means of getting the stuff out of the containers.
I buy the little cups by the gross from Amazon. Since I do mix a lot of small batches for the various projects I go through a gross of cups every couple of years.

Perhaps this will be useful,
John VB
