A double barrel gun is a common tool for dispensing two-part epoxy resin, but it’s not always a necessity. There are several convenient alternatives that suit a variety of crafting, DIY, and repair projects.
Double Chamber Syringes: Effortless and Accurate
One of the most accessible alternatives is the double chamber or dual syringe, such as found in the “Klebfix” 2K Fast Epoxy Glue. These syringes are pre-loaded with both resin and hardener in the correct ratio. By simply pressing the plunger, precise amounts are delivered ready for mixing. This approach is clean, simple, and especially handy for quick repairs or smaller projects where investing in a full dispensing gun makes little sense.
Hand-Mix 1:1 Resins: Simple Measuring, Flexible Use
For crafters and hobbyists, hand-mix resins provide even greater flexibility. Products like “One-2-One” Epoxy Resin are designed for a simple 1:1 mixing ratio by volume, removing the need for specialised dispensing equipment. Just measure equal parts of each component in separate cups and mix together thoroughly. This style is perfect for jewellery making, coatings, and small castings, offering you full control over the amount prepared each time.
Epoxy Resin Kits: All-in-One Solutions
If you prefer an all-in-one approach, starter kits such as the “Evershine Collection” offer crystal-clear resin with a 1:1 formula and essential accessories included. These kits are tailored for creative projects, eliminating the complications of dosing guns and measuring errors, and making resin art more accessible for beginners and seasoned makers alike.
When This Matters
Choosing an alternative to a double barrel gun is particularly important when you need easy application, minimal cleanup, or are working in smaller quantities. It’s ideal for artists, crafters, and anyone looking for a straightforward entry into resin projects without specialist tools.
