For 15 bucks you can buy an electronic scale on EBay with an accuracy of a
tenth of a gram that will allow you to mix tiny batches of epoxy.


That's how I do it and I've tried many other methods. I find
it works great. I'd add that the scale has a tare function
(zeros out your container weight.) I put a paper cup on the
scale, put a small open ziploc bag in it with the mouth of
the bag pulled open around the lip of the cup so everything
put in the cup goes into the bag., tare it to zero, then add
component one, then component two. Pull the bag out,
squeeze out air, close it, knead the two components
together, use a pencil to push all the mixed epoxy to one
corner, snip off that corner and apply like a frosting bag -
the bigger the snipped corner the more you can apply
quickly. Tiny jobs use tiny snips.

I like that trick. Clever.
