Hey gang,
Which do you think would be better for moving paint from the bottle to a mixing bowl / airbrush paint cup, a 5cc plastic syringe (with graduated markings) or a simple, unmarked eyedropper. Either are fairly inexpensive, but I'd rather not have redundant tools.
The upside of the syringe is that it is already marked, so making ratios of mixed paint is easier. It also has a larger volume for those times I need to transfer cleaning fluids. The eyedropper on the other hand, has no markings but is cheaper and smaller (and should waste less paint) but mixing ratios will have to be done by eye. Even if I mark the eyedroppers, there's no guarantee that they'll be accurate (though I realize paint ratios don't really need to be accurate).
So, any opinions on which would be a better tool in the ol' arsenal?
Thanks,
Fred
