Cheap epoxy mixing board
I have found that a cardboard tube from paper towels or any other tube makes a great board to mix 2 part epoxy. Just cut it to you needed size and throw it out when your done

I use a beer or soft drink can for mixing epoxy.
Brake the opening ring off, rinse and dry, turn the can up-side-down and mix the epoxy in the bottom cup.
When you are finished discard or recycle.

I don't use epoxy as much as I used to, with the advantages of CA, but I use the card stock that comes as junk mail. Lay a bead of Type A, and a bead of Type B alongside, mix well with a small cheap screwdriver, and apply to the airframe. You can scrape the dry epoxy off the screwdriver and use over and over. Old greeting cards, birthdays, father's day, etc. work well too.
Can't get much cheaper than that! At last, a use for junk mail!

you guys make it so much work.. find a scrap piece of paper and a flat head screwdriver, put epoxy on the paper paper, mix with flathead screwdriver, apply with flat head screwdriver. it as easy as that, the dried epoxy comes off the screwdriver with a razor in a single pass.
