I use pippets to draw the paints from tins/jars. I can get more for free when I find them tossed in the bins at my place of employment.
:that: I can get the pippets from Amazon. You can get 100 for between $6-$15. I use them once and then throw them away.
Same, I use the one for thinner untill it breaks, the ones I get aren't the best quality and are made from recycled plastic. After they are used they get thrown in the plastic bin at work to be recycled once again.
I also use tattoo ink cups to mix my paint in.

For normal spray amounts, I transfer from bottle to cup using the stirrer and count in drops, which gives me a good reference for mix ratios.

That's an awesome idea John - the only downside I can see is to get them you have to drink their coffee! :grin: :stinky:

Excellent point, Stuart. And they have made it plain they do not want any business from certain demographics.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
