Clear caps for casting

[VotTak]

I 'm trying to get into casting and now looking to get those clear caps in which you mixing alumilite. Any suggestions?
Also what do you use to mix alumilite in the cap?
Thanks

Clear plastic cups? I get the generic clear ones at the grocery store. I have a mixing paddle, but you can use a wooden 'tongue depressor' type craft stick.

I'm not sure about Alumilite but with the P.R. you need a cup that has a recycle number of 5. If not it will melt the cup.

I just use the clear Solo cups and a couple of different sizes of silicone spatulas I got at Walmart for my main mixing cups. They are adequate for my pours which tend to be at or below 200 grams. If I'm doing more than 1 color I'll pour some off into smaller plastic cups and just use a wooden craft stick to mix those.
