In Response To: Measuring small amounts of epoxy (Allan)

For small jobs I keep my epoxy in bottles with a small diameter nozzle. I mix small amounts on a piece of clear 1/16" polypro plastic. If the mix is say 3:1 ... I use the bottles to meter out a 3 " length and 1" length ... and mix away. As long as the nozzles are small you can accurately meter out any amount in whatever ratio you use.

: A better idea for small amounts and a brilliant idea for tiny
: amounts is to use a couple of plastic syringes in plastic picnic
: sauce bottles.

: The syringe fits perfectly in the nozzle of the sauce bottle and
: can be left permanently as a sealer.
