Hi, most of the plastic mixing cups I use do not clean very well after use, especially with epoxy.
If I leave the resin inside, it becomes brittle and never detaches completely. If I clean it with acetone, over time the plastic becomes dull getting the problem worse.
So do you use any strategy not to waste too many mixing cups?
I was thinking about using a realease agent but I am worried about contaminating the resin.
Also I try to look for silicone mixing cups but found nothing in the usual stores.
Ideas?

Use paper drinking cups, still trash but better than plastic. It's hard to clean it properly to use again without using to much solvent. Thats what I would do
