<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>Google on "gram scale" to see all that's out there. In addition to working with action weights, I've begun mixing epoxy by weight. The gram scale has let me work with batches as small as I need, instead of having to mix in increments of "pumps", and has probably paid for itself in saved epoxy.</FONT></DIV>
