Similar to film containers, I save those little creamer containers like diners use for coffee. You can collect them even if you don't drink coffee.

For smaller batches, I just run a stream on a scrap of cardboard and one next to it with hardener half the length. I only use 2-1 epoxies for the ease of mixing.

When I buy epoxy which has come in gallon cans or plastic jugs which I transfer into smaller old dish detergent containers with the little squeeze caps. I make a quick funnel out of magazine cover paper.

West makes a good product but I just don't want to deal with 5-1 ratios
