Chip, I like the graduated bottles, but with the other bottles, the syringes stay up on top, plugged into the pointed spout and out of the liquid itself. That way, there's no dripping of excess resin or hardener, You turn the bottle/syringe upside down just like the doctors do to draw out what you want and turn it back over to unplug. Your measured quantity stays in the syringe and there's no runs, drips or errors. I wish I had a good picture and a place to post it to so I could show you.

The spout of the picnic bottle is long and tapered, so you just cut it down until the tip of the syringe fits into it snuggly. I'll see if I can find a picture and send it to you. Maybe you can post it.
