Worked for exactly what I needed it to, which was to mix small amounts of Gel Coat. Will be using this for laminating resin and epoxy soon in the very near future.
Pros (for me at least):
-clear cups
-easy to read measurements
-good size for my application
Cons:
-can't use brushes over 2 inches but really.... it's a small cup for small applications so not really a con for me
5/5 going to buy again when I run out
I do a lot of epoxy resin work and I ordered these to help me measure smaller amounts so that I don't have break out the scale to weigh the epoxy and hardener. These are fantastic for smaller amounts. My husband has taken a few to use for his paint and stains, and he really likes them. They're easy enough to clean after usage so that they can be reused. Measurements seem accurate.
I ordered these for epoxy resin mixing and they worked fine. No melting or ruining my project. SWH left a review stating the woes of their ruined project and I can only come up with they mixed a little too much hardener to compensate for the amount of mica powder used. Who knows. They worked flawlessly for me. Sorry about your ruined project. I would have tested on something smaller to verify everything was kosher.
These work as they are meant to. Beware that they melt very easily. I typically do my work on a heating pad to eliminate bubbles more easily and I have to watch that the cup doesn’t start to melt. If you’re mixing something that generates heat by chemical reaction, these will not work for you. Best for mixing medium sized quantities. No measurements available below 1oz on this cup.
I've recently been on a kick molding various projects out of silicon. These work fine for measuring out my quantities and mixing in pigments. They're a bit on the thin side and don't hold up to silicon being pulled off once dry, but they're cheap so that's not a big deal in my book. The measurements are accurate enough for my purposes and I'll be buying more for sure.
Feature Product
- Qty 20 8oz Clear Plastic (PET) Cups with Graduated Markings
- cc and oz markings are approximate but pretty accurate
- Inexpensive enough to be disposable, sturdy enough to be reusable
Description
20 Clear Plastic Graduated Cups
Perfect for mixing small batches resin, paint, stain, epoxy from 1 to 8 ounces.
Printed markings on outside of cup provide graduated markings (approximate).
Smooth inside promotes complete mixing.
NOTE: Measurements are approximate. Calibrate as needed for exacting applications.
NOTE: PET has a maximum fill temperature of 160 degrees. Exothermic heat generated by curing resin can melt this cup. Mix small batches and use quickly.
A little stiff, but the graduations make these perfect for mixing compounds. Would prefer if they were a little softer so I could form a lip when pouring.
I'm not sure why people are having issues with their resin. These work great for my projects. My resin needs exact measurements. If you're slightly off, it won't mix clear and it mixes clear everytime. I've never had any issues with these cups.
I got these to measure out my epoxy for small projects and they work quite well. I like that they're disposable and a good value.
I mean, not much to say really. They are cups. Work great, love the measurements on the side and did what they need to.
I LOVE MEASURING! I LOVE CUPS! NOW I HAVE BOTH IN ONE PLACE??! Honestly I use them for resin casting. Nice, precise enough, easy to measure with cups.
