: For measuring small amounts of epoxy I use empty Soft-Soap
: dispenser bottles. It not only is a good way to measure small
: batches, but it is a convenient way to use that little bit of
: resin in the jug that your pumps can't get.

I punch holes in the corners of the resin/hardener containers and drain them into a new'er can. I know most people don't have several cans of epoxy around though so this might not work for you.

One of these years I'm gonna buy West's gear pump and just save up for the 5 gallon pails of epoxy, you can pump whatever amount you want at the correct ratio just turn the crank. It's not cheap though.
