In Response To: Epoxy: Tune up for pumps (John Faas)

I would recommend American Weigh for scales. Their prices are super close to the same as harbor freight, but the quality and accuracy is much better. Also- the Harbor Freight scales I've seen only measure to the nearest gram. That means you could be off by nearly a gram, because it reads the same whether you're at 1.0 grams or 1.9 grams, and if you're using a scale to be accurate in small quantities-- you're not. American Weigh has scales that go much finer than .1 gram, but I think that .1 gram is fine for this use.
