I just recently bought some Pro Paste to glue cork fly rod handles on. Does anyone have a simple method to volumemetrically measure part a and b?

Does not have to be exact, just eye ball it. You can be quite a bit off and it will still cure properly. I use 2 popsicle sticks to grab a glob of each an put into a mixing cup. Never had a problem.

I use metal measuring spoons (tablespoon, teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon.....etc), Just have to make sure you clean it before you put in the other container. Easy cleanup with a paper towel.

I bought a melon baller at the grocery store. It has a large scoop at one end and a small scoop at the other. Works great for all my needs.

the eyeball method works well, but if you are worried about it, pick up a package of plastic picnic spoons at the grocery store... use 1 in the resin and 1 in the hardner... mix together, throw the spoons away when done. That way you don't risk contaminating the jars...

Pro paste is just a little thinner than Rod Bond and seems to mix easier for me, but I use both
