I mix everything on my scale. You just need to get the ratios for each product sorted out before doing it as the same volume of different products weigh different amounts.For example for a spray out card, or to do some touch up work?
All my mixing cups are too large.
I thought about using those little plastic cups that come with medicine, but looks tough to pour into those from a can, and I don't have that many extra of those lying around.
New guy here,learning a lot around here.I mix everything on my scale. You just need to get the ratios for each product sorted out before doing it as the same volume of different products weigh different amounts.
Yes, but I have to determine the volume first. The first time, just do it by volume with a mixing cup, but do that on a scale. Write down the weight of the components. Then when you mix that SAME product again, just use the scale. You can accurately go as small as you want using that same weight ratio (and calculator) Different colors of the same product will also be slightly different in weight. My thinking is that even if I'm off slightly, if I do it the same every time, It will always be the same. So I never have to worry about whether I poured to the bottom of the line on one component and the top of the line on the next. I'm mixing the same each time, to the drop.I'm confused on the scale comment.
So you do it by the weight of the liquid rather than volume of said liquid?
That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.Yes, but I have to determine the volume first. The first time, just do it by volume with a mixing cup, but do that on a scale.
