Default epoxy pumps... or gravity?


I'd like to get away from mini-pumps and their clogging and other hassles.

I've usually got about 3 different 4.5 gallon containers of West & ProSet
resin on the go, and 4 or 5 different hardeners.

Any thoughts on racking them upside down on a shelf, with a bit of plumbing,
and a tap for each container?
The real issue is measuring out accurate quantities - both large and small -
either by weight or volume.

With the pumps, often one shot is too large for a minor job, while a big
laminating or fairing job has me pumping dozens of times in a session (and
the thicker resins are incompatible with the std minipumps too).
