: I used to do that with my Raka pumps--marked the shaft with a piece of
: tape...

: It didn't work, and I ended up chucking a couple of small projects into the
: scrap bin. Now, I measure into small graduated medicine cups from the
: pharmacy...urine sample cups also work well.

: Whatever brand of epoxy pump you've been using might be more burp-free (read:
: reliable) than the Raka pumps. I love Raka epoxy, but I don't trust
: Larry's pumps anymore.

I use one syringe for resin and one for hardener. Measure up one inch for resin and one half inch for hardener. Pump dirctly into the top of the syringe and insert the plunger. Squirt into a mixing cup and mix. As long as you don't mix up the two you don't even have to clean them until your boat is finished.
