Plugging along on my first build, I have found epoxy syringes and small mixing cups, like you'd find on a robitussin bottle, very useful. I used the syringes for filling gaps in the hull interior, where I got a little carried away with the bevel. And the small mixing cups are useful for all sorts of small epoxy jobs. It dawned on me that pharmacies must have these items. My daughter works at one, and yes, they do! For about ten bucks, she ordered 100 syringes and a stack (probably 200) of small cups with measuring lines on them. The syringes are sold at West Marine, two in a pack, for six bucks. Score! Check with you local pharmacy!
