Dispensing from 5 Gal Epoxy containers

I have really enjoyed the 5 gallon containers of epoxy with my pocketship build. Lot better than constantly changing out or refilling the smaller jugs.

I have ratio pumps installed on the containers but I'd ALSO like to be able to dispense by pouring.

Q: Has anyone been successful at rigging up a spigot type valve on these containers? I've attached a sketch of what I'm talking about.

Yes - they make plastic quarter turn spigots that replace the large cap. That’s what I used as the pumps don’t work well in colder temperatures. Now .. where did I get them? I can’t remember just yet. I went back and looked at McMaster, Amazon, but don’t see the exact ones. Wolverine Tuff bottles sells one that looks like it , but you’d need to verify the size.

Thanks Steve. I ordered a couple from Wolverine Tuff and they work perfectly.
