robalo01 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I have been asking a lot of questions and getting great info lately. I thought I might give a little back. I got tired of tossing out so many little mixer cups. I poured about 50-60 ml of RTV into the bottom of an aluminum can. The rounded bottom is great for mixing 5 min epoxy. Everything runs to the middle and once it dries you just peel it out and toss the left over epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wchilton Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nice tip! I've been using a round-bottom silicone bakeware bowl for a while for mixing casting resin but hadn't thought to do the same for mixing epoxy. A while back I found some disposable "cups" that hospitals use for bringing meds to patients and they right size plus have ml markings on the side for measuring.

mark poulson Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 A word of caution. If you plan to use beer cans, be sure they are empty. Otherwise, they may be unstable due to the pull tab. That's my excuse, anyway. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
