I like using epoxy with West System being my favorite. The problem is I buy gallon and quart size cans, that use pumps to dispense the epoxy. When I am doing a small project even 1 pump from each dispenses too much epoxy so there is a lot of waste. I spent close to 3 months in the hospital at the beginning of this year and became intimately familiar with these syringes.:surprise: Having nothing better to do laying in the hospital bed I thought of things I would like to add to my shop. The syringes gave me the idea of an epoxy station. This is what I came up with. Besides West System epoxy I added a Titebond II, and an epoxy made by Abatron. This epoxy is very thin and is used primarily for restoring punky/rotten wood. It is great for filling cracks, firming up punky wood while turning etc...and again comes in large quart size cans that lead to waste. I get the syringes from Amazon they are about .57 cents apiece. They come with caps, and a reducer for squirting smaller quantities. Both epoxies are 1 to 1 resin/hardener so I am hoping for much less waste. I buy the stainless creamers from a local restaurant supply house, for about .75 cents apiece, they are great for stirring and pouring, and clean up very easy. The station hangs on the wall out of the way and is easy to take to the project.
