Hello,
I ordered mixing cups, thinking there was only one kind...apparently I was wrong...will mixing cups with little nubs (for lack of a more technical term) around the inside of the bottom rim interfere with the mixing action of a PAC bay mixer and the steel mixing plug? The cups fit in the mixer, but I'm worried that the epoxy won't mix completely.

Thanks,
Ken

I use these cups and HAND mix Never - Never had a problem with my finish

use them with confadence

Try it without any epoxy and see if the nubs interfere with the mixing ball/bar.

go to any restaurant supply house and get the condiment cups. they come in different sizes but mine(2oz) fit just right in the pac bay mixer. i think i got several hundred for less than $10. it has been awhile since i needed any

Mud Hole has the cups your looking for . They have 125 ct. -2.5 oz. for $6.95. Hope that helps!!

2X on the condiment cups big box wholesle stores carry them also, also try your local craft outlet

I agree on the cups from the grocery store.
I go to the deli in the store and pick up a couple of bags of cups. They charge me about $2 for 400 cups.

Do any of these cups have release agent or silicone from the molding process?

Good point, I had problems with that (back in the early eightys) and since then ONLY use aluminum foil mixing cups. Mold release transfered from the mixing cup to the finnish and caused it to "fish-eye". So be carefull where you get your mixing cups from!

I have bought "deli" 2 oz serving cups from many different locations and have never had an issue with any sort of contamination.

Remember, all of these cups that are either obtained from a Deli or in the grocery store are intended to hold things for human consumption. So, it would be pretty hard to have a product meeting the guidelines for holding food for human consumption and have any thing in them that could be useful for a mold release.

Good luck
Roger

just don't pour PermaGloss or Lumiseal in the deli cups, unless you want the finish all over the bench. As for your question on the nubs I have used them in a mixer and had no concerns. My ball goes over them no problem.
