5000 Medicine Cups Disposable 1oz. Graduated - 1 PK/100, Clear

I like to use these little disposable cups when I make things with epoxy resin, they're the perfect size to be able to just mix a little bit up if I'm wanting to use multiple colors. Great price as well.

I bought these for mixing 2-part epoxy casting resin. With the resin I have, you're supposed to mix a 1:1 ratio of each part, by volume, and these have precise volumetric marks on the side in many different units, so they have been working for me. (I still have bubbles in my resin, but I am very new at this and I don't blame the medicine cups. I blame my own technique, which should improve over time.)Anyway, there's not a lot else to say about these. My resin does set as it is supposed to, so I feel confident that the volumetric marks on each cup match and I am getting the correct amount of each part. (I measure my two parts in separate cups so no chemical reaction starts before I am finished measuring.) The labels can be a bit hard to see because they are translucent on a clear cup; it helps a little bit to work on a dark background (well, my work table is black anyway). These are inexpensive enough that you don't feel too bad about throwing them away after use, and sturdy enough that you don't damage them as you mix and stir.Size-wise, these are decent for small projects, like resin cabochons and pendants. I don't really think they are large enough to mix resin for bangle bracelets (you don't want to spill product out of the cup when stirring). But they are good for small projects and don't result in much waste, which I appreciate since resin can be expensive. (They are also great if you want to mix up resin with different colors of glitter -- in a larger cup, you'd have to make everything the same color but with these, you can play with color in small amounts a bit more.)I guess because my mixed resin is a little viscous, I don't feel that pouring is difficult or messy (I do warm the resin components for a bit in a miniature Crock Pot before mixing).I am probably going to take a few of these from my crafts area and put them in the kitchen; when my husband and I both get sick, we don't like to share the same cough syrup cup, and these will work for that purpose as well.All of my cups (well, I did a spot inspection, anyway) were uniformly molded with no cracks, chips, etc. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and would buy these again when I run out.

REVIEW OF CUPS FOR CRAFT PURPOSES- so please keep that in mind! I bought these for mixing 2 stage epoxy resin and let me tell you they are great! They have very few ridges or notches to lose the mixed resin in, or worse, only one part of the resin resulting in an end product that doesn't set. Also, they have helped reduce bubbles with their sides being so smooth. They are very pliable so when pouring resin into your mold they can bend into a nice little spout. Cost-wise they blow the small epoxy mixing "kits" (3 cups and a popsicle stick) you can buy for $3-6 at Michael's or Hobby Lobby out of the water and considering the sheer amount you get with an order, they last a very long time.PROS: Cheap, Cuts down on bubbles and loss of epoxy with smooth sides, pliable for pouring (I haven't had one crack on me yet!), can be cleaned and re-used but still cheap enough to toss them.CONS: The only change that would make these perfect would be to add a little ink to the graduation marks to make them a bit more visibleTIPS: If you use these for resin you're halfway there as far as getting rid of those pesky bubbles but rather than using a popsicle stick to mix your resin try a flexible mini spatula like one of these Solabela Painter's Palette Knives and Spatulas. Set of 5 that way you won't get the air bubbles from the resin filling the crevices of the wood! Also the flex-metal makes it easy to "pop" off the resin once it's dried to re-use. You can get them in a set or a $2 one from Hobby Lobby :)*** Did you find this review helpful? I hope so! Let me know if you have questions by using the comments section below ***

Love these. Great price

I first bought these about 2 years ago for measuring fragrance oils and whatnot. Love them! No complaints about the product itself. They're thin but they work well for something that's disposable. My complaint is the price. The first few times I bought them, I get a pack of 100 for $2. I just recently bought more (4 months ago) and the price had gone up to over $5. I shrugged it off because I like the cups and I know inflation happens and plastic has been expensive lately. But I come back today to buy more and I notice the price has gone up even more. This time to almost $8. I might have to shop around because I feel like at this point I can find the same exact cheaper from another company.

The cups are amazing. Lots of lines for any measurement, nice that they are disposable and accurate. There is not 5000, that’s just the name. That would have been excessive anyways, and I’m happy with my 100.

I got these yesterday, they took a bit to get here but within the shipping window I was told. They are exactly as I expected. They seem heavier duty than the medicine cups that come with liquid medicine which is great. I bought them to use for Epoxy and they work well. I love the price. I will order again.

Excellent Solution to use for my 91 year old Mother to make sure she does not drop her pills when we give her the medicine. This is more like what she used when she was in the hospital and she can take all of her pills at one time. So Easy. Should have used these years ago. The care givers can use them and then toss them once and throw them away. So much better than trying to hold pills in your hand. This is also great for my husband who has limited mobility in his hands. This is perfect.
