Silicone Mixing Cups

[cteno4]

These are nice little mixing cups for stuff like resin and epoxy. Made to mix up dental cement, they are perfect to mix a small bit of epoxy and a bit easier than doing it out on a flat surface and having to scrape everything into your mix pile. nice thing is once the epoxy is dry it pops right out of the silicone cup!

Just bumping as I’ve been using epoxy more these days due to these mixing cups. Now so super simple to just mix up a tiny amount using one of the micro dental applicators. Small amounts mix really fast in them.
 

Forgot to mention that the bases of these are like suction cups so you can push them down on a smooth surface to hold it steady while using. I’ve started using larger one in the wood shop for pva glue. I use 4”x4” metal plate covers for electrical boxes to suck the cup to. Very handy.
