Silicone mixing cups

[Black Knight]

I use a fair bit of two-part moulding resin in small amounts

Usually I just use small tin-foil pastry dishes for mixing the resin and throw the pastry dish away when I'm done.

 

Recently I came across these silicone mixing cups.

Front to back they are 6.5cm, width is 4cm and depth 2cm. About the same size as a tin-foil pastry dish.

 

The big advantage is that the set resin will just peel off for the cup to be reused.

In the photo I've left the remains of some two-part resin glue on the mixing stick to show how it just peels out of the cup

 

I got 5 cups for £2.50 through ebay.
