Epoxy: shaking it up

I'm glssing a hull. I dislike the whold giant epoxy chore so I decided to mark out a 2-1 measurment on a pasta sauce jar. (big bottle) I put in the epoxy and hardner and shake it up. It works great and 1/10 the time of stiring - expecially for the big batches you need in the beginning. I don't care about air since it's a S & G hull which I'm painting.

Then I move to smaller batches to finish up the sides which I stir.
