If you use epoxy for castings, You might like this.

When I make a pour, I find a cap or two off of an aerosol can or 2 oz paper or plastic cups, and a long threaded bolt, Hot glue or use Super glue to tack the bolt, centered in the cap, and pour the left over epoxy into the cap. If it isn't full, save it for the next time you have epoxy left over.

The two orange ones in the fore ground have just been poured, the others are from other pours. There are five different thread sizes in my stock in the picture, some I leave in the cap, some I turn.
Great for table saw and band saw jigs.
