Syringes for mixing epoxy paint

[Conachair]

Anyone know of a high st shop which would sell 50ml syringes? Or know another way of mixing small amounts of 2 part epoxy paint? I've used 50ml ones before with success but can't find anywhere to buy them, asked in a few chemists and looked at boots online but no luck.

TIA

Try Central Woolgrowers http://www.cwg.co.uk/ - they hold stocks of large syringes used for lamb-feeding.

Or a Vets ? Or even a medical suppliers - they use large syringes for nasal feeding.

Ta for that, was hoping for somewhere local but not having any luck, no vets near here, or hyroponic outlets ...
Might be the kitchen scales instead.

Bish, just realised, it's a bank holiday! No wonder everywhere is shut. No chance today then, kitchen scales it is

If your mixing guide gives volumes, note that the density of epoxy is not unity!

Yep , been there before. The resin is about 20% heavier than the cure, quick spreadsheet sorts it out.

My favorite sealer for steel - great stuff. http://pacificsouthwest.net/assets/docs/Sealer_PDS_AI.pdf

I get mine from the local chemist shop.

So do I. But I do find they treat me rather warily, as all I ever buy from them is enema syringes and oxalic acid.

Weighing

If you don´t find any syringes then just weigh the volumes in a small plastic measuring cup or similar. On smaller amounts it´s much more accurate anyway to use weight ratio than volume.

Didn't whoever you bought the paint from have syringes? Whenever I've bought fibreglass, gelcoat or epoxy, there have always been syringes on the next shelf (or next web page) for measuring.

got the paint in Trinidad so a little too far to go

I was hoping there would be some high st shop but doesn't really matter, forgot I've bought some accurate scales since last time painting so i can use them instead.
