Question about the eyedropper for measuring

by John

Hi, when you use the eyedropper for medium/damar, do you fill it all the way up or do you just "dip and squeeze once" for the amount of medium you use? Just wondering because eyedroppers aren't usually that accurate for measuring. I filled mine up as best I could using Liquin, but Liquin is like gel so it's tough to measure with an eyedropper. Thank you :)

Editor:
Hi John! Yes, I use just the dip and squeeze once method. After several goes, the amount for me has been fairly consistent. The mixtures can be quite forgiving, and abiding by the fat over lean keeps us out of any future troubles.

Hope this helps.
