As a side note, I once measured my epoxy dispenser pumps by squirting into a syringe and was shocked at the variation in volume from pump too pump. Especially the first pump of the day. Never trusted the so called metered hand pumps after that. I always decant into a syringe for accurate measurement. Using this technique you can easily mix up anything from a tiny to a large batch as the job requires.
Enjoy the videos and great technical content!
