I use a balance scale as described by Joe Tribulato in Duckworks many years ago. It works with small amounts and large amounts. For small amounts you need to have very little friction in the balance points. I use small nails. No messy syringes or burping pumps. Just pour an amount directly into the container.

I use old cardboard rings from masking and duck tape to balance small amounts, and old nuts for larger amounts. Just stack them on a vertical stick stuck into the balance so they don't fall off.
