Mixing Small Quantities of 2 Pack Paint

I am looking for a method of weighing small quantities of 2 pack and was thinking of using 100ml syringes or those small pumps found in hand cream. But being plastic, the solvents will probably melt them.

One if anyone had found anything else?

What would be useful is a small metal spout. like the plastic spouts for fruit juice boxes, that would self penetrate into the side of the tin.

I buy packs of disposable plastic spoons and use one for the paint and one for the hardener (and try not to mix them up!)Chris Harvey'Bernardus'

You can also use big syringes, over time everything gets messy, and depending on the type of 2-pack the hardener or the base can react with moisture from the air so remember to keep a good seal on the lid.

I know professionals do use hand pumps like the 'garage soap' ones, I do not know if they're special ones.

I have once measured the weight of the 2 components and now use a kitchenscale to measure them in the tin that I mix them in, very accurate.

Btw do you know that you can re-use the brush that was used for a two pack paint if  you wrap it in plastic and store it in the freezer,
