Bulk purchase of small mixing pots??

[Arnold9801]

Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on the small disposable plastic pots like those they use in hospital when they give your tablets or medicine?

Wanted for pen making and the measuring mixing of resin.

What do you use for this purpose?

Would love to know.

looking on amazon it seems like it would not cost a lot more to find an inexpensive brand of yoghurt you like and keep the pots, and as we are coming up to christmas, mince pie wrappers are also an option

that said, this might be an option

Check out a cash and carry or similar that supplies takeaway restaurants. You can get all sorts of shapes and sizes of plastic pots in quantity very cheaply. Lids are available as well obviously, which could be useful...

I use them for 2k epoxy based printing inks all the time, also for resin work. They are something i use a lot of and always have stock.

Measuring syringes are also available from the same online sources. Any parent of young children will also have plenty of spare 5/10ml (oral) syringes for paracetamol/nurofen, which are handy for precise amounts of liquids.

As somebody mentioned cash and carry, or ask your friendly local landlord (if such a thing exists anymore) for plastic shot glasses.
