Digital scale for measure

In Response To: Re: Welcome The Raven (Rob Macks)

I use a digital scale to measure by weight. It works pretty well. To dispense the resin & hardener, I use a ketsup squirt bottle.

: I measure the pump shaft stroke length on my epoxy and hardener bottles and
: mark divisions of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 with a marker , then carve a
: shallow notch since the resin and hardener will wash off any ink marker.

: This allows me to dispense very small amounts. I've never had a problem using
: this method in ten years.
