      i am looking for some kind of tool – a large syringe, perhaps, or some kind of plunger – for placing small amounts of resin, where pouring from the cup is too difficult to control. I don’t want a pre-filled double to be – my experience is that the different viscosities result in uneven amounts. What I’d like is some way to fill a syringe-type tool with resin ivecalready missed, and then apply it. Should I just use a large syringe? Are there any tools made for this purpose? Ivectried just using the tip of tacwoode mixing stick but it doesn’t provide for much control. Any advice/suggestions would be welcome!
      Thanks.

      Hi Tereze, I like to use syringes for this purpose too. I find I can control the resin a lot better as well. The problem I find is that they are difficult to clean to reuse. Have you considered pipettes? https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/tools-and-supplies/products/pipettes-qty-20 They might not give you as much control, but they cost less. I don’t feel bad about throwing them away. 😉
