Here's a neat little idea my dad came up with for dispensing the polyester resin: reusing a liquid laundry detergent bottle. It allows you to dispense just as much resin as you need, without creating a mess. It works great so far :)

It's a liquid laundry detergent bottle. That particular one is from Costco (Kirkland brand), but there are other companies that use a similar bottle (Tide, etc.).

I don't know about using the included clear measuring cup for the catalyst. For example, you only need about 5cc of catalyst for 16oz of resin. I don't think the small measuring cups that come with the detergent bottles are accurate enough. I prefer to stick with a syringe for that purpose.

I happen to have saved a bottle just like that a year ago for some reason, now I know why I saved it! :D
