I use West brand epoxy and use their mini-pumps. For containers I use paint mixing cups you can get from places that sell to body shops for automotive paint, look in phone book. These cups, pint size for me works best, are around 35 cents each in quantity. Can get them online cheap too. The ones from West Marine are about 3 times the price, go thru alot of mixing cups, price adds up after awile.
