  I would second Bryan's view on the resin pump being redundant, and you
don't even need the tables. Simply pour out a suitable amount of hardener,
multiply the figure by 4, zero the scales and pour in that amount of resin.
Couldn't be easier. Even if you are a bit bleary eyed and overshoot the mark
it is simple to add an appropriate amount more of hardener, and I suspect
the 0.1g accuracy may exceed that of the pump.

    If you get an electronic scale with a zeroing feature, an epoxy pump
will be
    a waste of money.

    Just get an endless supply of disposable plastic cups (say, pint size)
and
    prepare a chart of mixes in grams, and you have all you need for mixing
as
    much as you want when you want.

    Remember that there is not so much epoxy work on the XS and you soon get
    through the phase of laying up of flying surfaces. After that it is all
about
    small detail lay-ups etc..

    A hacksaw blade in a padsaw handle was my next most useful tool after
the
    scales.

    Enjoy the build.... best regards Bryan Allsop 360 BYSA
