For the past year, I've been using squeeze bottles for dispensing my Raka 127 resin & 250 hardener as suggested by Rehd. It's a wonderful idea, but the Rubbermaid brand bottles that I used seem to react with the hardener. After about 6 months, the cap would develop cracks around the flange. I replaced it the first time, and kept on going. The replacement failed a couple months ago.
I picked up some cheap imitations at Wallyworld - red & yellow. They won't work - the hardener takes on a pink tint. 
I'm happy with Raka & don't want to change epoxy vendors. Anybody had any experience with a bottle that holds up better?? I really don't want to miss with pumps.
