Epoxy: Beginner question- epoxy pumps

OK, I know this is really basic but I'm about to start using the epoxy for the first time and was wondering what you guys do to keep the little plastic pumps from getting totally clogged and permanently sealed up by epoxy, after one use. Or is that a non-issue since the hardener is not yet in contact with the epoxy? When I have used the little dual syringe dispensers (e.g. Home Depot variety epoxy) they still get clogged even though the components are supposed to be separated. Thanks a lot.
