After having played the epoxy pump game over and over for the past several 
years I have decided that the best way to meter epoxy and resin is with 
squeeze bottles and a good electronic scale.  I purchased an Ohaus Scout scale 
(300gram capacity, 0.1gram resolution) and have mixed gallons of epoxies (both 
Jeffco and Hysol) and more than a few batches of polyester resins and am a 
firm believer in the accuracy gained with the scale.  When it comes to larger 
batches (more than 30-40 grams total) I will admit that the inaccuracies in 
the pumps are less significant, but given the large quantity of smaller 
batches required to build a Lancair, I get more warm fuzzies from knowing that 
_every_ batch is precisely on ratio, regardless of the amount mixed.   Get a 
good scale and set your mind at ease.  JTPHO.  FWIW.
