The main question I had was if using weights for small amounts would be more accurate than volumes as a unit of measure.

I guess I will do some experimentation.

Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!

I have found using the Flexcoat rod finish syringes the best way by far to accurately measure e-tex or any liquid epoxy. These syringes have no silicone in their make up. I have used this method for 4 years w/o an issue in curing. Coat by 8pm, dry to touch by 8am. I do 5 -9" needles w/ 6 cc's of mix. Best results w/ 1" foam brush. Buy on sale @ Michaels Crafts , 20 for a $1.00. Each syringe is 3 cc's ea. You can get syringes from any shop that carries rod building supplies. I mix with the hardener first then adding the resin. Hope this helps.
