How about using clear plastic beer cups and marking the measurement lines yourself. Use any measuring cup you use for cooking to pour some liquid (e.g., water) into the beer cup and mark the level it reaches. Pour in some more and make another mark, etc., etc. You don't even need to be concerned about the flare of the beer cup. Then use these same measurements to mark subsequent cups.

Having just glassed the hull on our CLC LT16 I know you use a lot of cups, so cheap plastic beer cups are a boon.
