00:00If you've ever peeled a rock-hard blob of cured epoxy out of a plastic cup and just thrown the
00:04whole thing in the trash, this video is for you. I've been digging through a ton of listings to
00:09find the 5 best silicone mixing cups for resin crafts, and honestly, the prices on these blew
00:14me away. Let's get into it. First up is the 500ml silicone measuring cup with a handle.
00:22This one's my go-to for bigger pours, and the handle is the real hero here because you get
00:27actual control when you're tipping resin into a mold instead of doing that shaky two-hand
00:31balancing act. The scale markings are molded right in, so they don't wear off, and once
00:36your leftover resin cures, you just flex the cup and it pops straight out. $7.03, nearly
00:425,000 sold, and a 4.9 rating. That's a workhorse.
00:48Next is the transparent silicone measuring cup, and this one's clever because it's see-through.
00:53That sounds small, but when you're checking for bubbles or making sure your pigment is
00:57fully blended, being able to look through the side of the cup instead of just down into
01:01it is a genuine upgrade. It comes in 125, 250, and 500ml sizes, it's heat-resistant, and
01:09it's got a clear scale. $3.98.
01:13At that price, grab two.
01:16Coming in third is the resin toolkit with the scaled silicone cups and the popsicle-style
01:20stirring sticks. What I like about this one is that the sticks are silicone too, so cured
01:25resin peels right off them instead of gluing them to your workbench forever. It's a full
01:30little starter setup, so if you're just getting into resin, or you're buying a gift for someone
01:35who is, this covers you. $3.74 for the kit. Hard to argue with that.
01:42Number 4 is the SZ032 pigment mixing cup set, and this is 5 mini cups with stirrers.
01:48These are made for color work, plain and simple. Instead of committing your whole batch to one
01:54shade, you can mix five little test colors side by side, see how they cure, and then scale
01:59up the one you actually like. Anyone doing resin jewelry or petri dish art will get this immediately.
02:05$2.98 for all five, and it's the cheapest thing on this list.
02:10And rounding it out, the 100ml nonstick silicone measuring cup.
02:15This is the small batch cup, the one you reach for when you're doing a couple of pendants or
02:19filling a bezel and you don't want to waste resin in an oversized container. Small pours mean less
02:25waste, and less waste means more projects out of the same bottle. It's nonstick, it wipes clean,
02:31and it's $3.43. Perfect little everyday cup. All five links are down in the description,
02:38so go check the current prices because they do move around. If this helped you out,
