In Response To: Mixing Small Batches (J Van Buren)

For small batches, I mix by weight. I have a cheap Harbor Freight digital scale (verified accurate to silly tolerances by me) that works very well for this. Calculate the final amount you want, divide by the ratios. Tare the container, add calculated resin amount, tare scale again , and add calculated hardener amount. Ive done less than an ounce this way, for really small home repair kinda stuff.
