I looked throught the posts and did not find anything on ratio pumps. Does anybody use these? I used one for an aircraft construction and it was slick. I could meter out 3 oz., or a quart. I got mine from another Calif company, "Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co.". However, I found you can order a pump from the factory, and they have variable ratios if wanted. I just called the factory and was informed they could supply a pump in any ratio for $298. Here is the link to their page: http://www.michaelengineering.com/sticky-stuff-dispenser.shtml ... Hope this helps someone. It has sure removed all my epoxy mixing frustrations.

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Thanks for the link. I thought about using those, but I use my ratio pump alot, and I like being able to do a little or a lot without having to wonder if it is the right ratio. I have never had a cold or hot batch that way. Thanke again. For the one-time builder, those are much better than hand measuring it out. I am kinda likw "Tool-Time Tim". I like my cool tools... :wink:
